So around the world people have different days in marking remembrance day. Those soldiers who have come back and who have fallen for their country and way of life. Seen as I live in England our day is 11th November which is the day I will be posting this. however they way i've done it is in the form of a American tv show Hawaii Five - 0. When researched, in the U.S.A Remembrance day is called Memorial day and is celebrated at the End of May.
Even thought they are celebrated at different times and Veterans Day is on the 11th November. I want this to be a tribute to our heroes. Whether its something simple as wearing a poppy, or big as making a speech in front of those who have served (Or something like that) i wanted to do something for this particular day. No matter where they are or their country of origin. if you have a different day comment and tell me what it is, i would love to know.Anyway I hope you like it.

Steve McGarrett stood in front of is mirror making sure his uniform was perfect when there was a knock at his bedroom door.
"Come in." he called back, the door opened and his daughter walked in y/n McGarrett smiled softly at her father. Steve turned around to return it.
"You look beautiful." he told her looking down at her attire, she wore a long flowing 1940s style dress with hair and make up to match, though why will be explained later. a Poppy sat proudly just blew her shoulder splurging in the sunlight.
"Thank you." she replied and made her way over to him. She fixed him slightly making sure his honours and pin was straight before removing bits of cotton that was still there.
"perfect."
"What would i do without you y/n" he said as she did a final once over.
"Look shabby." she commented and nodded before retrieving peaked cap and handing it to him. He gently held it under his arm as he offered the other one to his daughter. Taking it, she was escorted to the car and the service.
y/n sat in the crowd listening to the beautiful and touching speeches from officers who serve or have served. She briefly looked over to her father who had a stoic yet a little bit haunted look on his face. She would give him a hug once they were finished.
When it was over she found her father talking to Catherine. Smiling she tapped him slightly gaining his attention. he turned round.
"Hey."
"Hi, sorry to interrupt, are you okay? i felt that there was something wrong during the service?" Steve gave her a kiss on the forehead.
"I'm fine." y/n nodded and looked to Catherine
"Catherine. I missed you." She grinned moving away from her fathers arms to hug the woman who her father dated.
"i missed you too. Gosh you have grown so much, when did that happen?" she laughed
"i ask myself that, everyday." y/n rolled her eyes.
"More like every hour, Dad." she joked back. "Are you coming to the Memorial Day Show?"
"What's that?" Catherine asked
"Our school does a show in honour of service men and women, there's speeches, singing, dancing, performances, food all sorts it starts in a hour."
"I'm not sure." she replied
"Please come. I'm dancing the female lead this year and giving a speech. Pretty please." she battered her eye lashes.
"Okay." y/n clapped.
"I have to be going, but I'm sure Dad will drive you or whatever." y/n kissed her fathers cheek and rushed off.
