That's good, I just hope they realise none of us would have such a liberal and affluent existence if not for our fathers and grandfather's. No way do I want to get into the politics of it all but it should have been all so unnecessary, I still weep for terrible losses suffered by virtually every family.

They learn about it from a very early age at school these days so the fully understand.
My Uncle and Grandfather were also lost in WW2 so my kids have been taught about their sacrifices too.
