I stop and remember my grandfather who fought, but thankfully survived, WW1 and my uncle, an artist, who died in WW2, my daughter is in the parade on Sunday as a Brownie and I've told her the stories of our family. But old wars are inevitably forgotten as new generations don't feel the personal loss of the older generations so they will naturally forget, much as we have forgotten the fallen of myriad battles and wars in our history. Alas I'm sure the next generations are unfortunately going to have their own wars and losses to mourn.
