On the 11th hour of the 11th day of the 11th Month we take time to remember those who gave their lives for our country.

Please take 2 minutes of silence to honour our veterans who made the ultimate sacrifice so we could live as we do today.

IN FLANDERS FIELDS the poppies blow
Between the crosses, row on row,
That mark our place, and in the sky
The larks, still bravely singing, fly
Scarce heard amid the guns below.

We are the Dead. Short days ago
We lived, felt dawn, saw sunset glow,
Loved and were loved, and now we lie
In Flanders fields.

Take up our quarrel with the foe:
To you from failing hands we throw
The torch; be yours to hold it high.
If ye break faith with us who die
We shall not sleep, though poppies grow
In Flanders fields.


Lieutenant Colonel John McCrae

this is no time for insults. Both of our countries suffered great losses in the Great War, World War II, and Korea

^ I agree. It doesn't matter who participated more, who lost more lives. This is a day to reflect on all the things we take for granted that all these young men and women lost their lives for. So be respectful.
