Remembrance Day, Part 2

[velvetpage]

I know many people are not in a job where there are services for Remembrance Day. Still, I would ask you each to find a moment to do this during the day.

At 11:00, in every school in Canada, there will be a minute of silence out of respect and remembrance for those who gave their lives for our freedom. Please take a minute out of your day for the same, if you are in a job where this is possible.


They will not grow old, as we who are left grow old;
Age will not weary them, nor the years condemn;
At the going down of the sun and in the morning,
We will remember them.

I'll be out on the street at 11am, even though we're nowhere near anything that's going on today -- just to pause and remember.

Amen. It's strange to think that November 11th, Armistice Day, is taken more seriously now than it was a few years ago. (since there will also be commemorations on Remembrance Sunday, the 14th Nov).
Got my Poppy curling on my fleece...took a couple of minutes to reflect.

Still sickened by the posing of some politicians....
