Remeberance Day
Here in the UK we remember those who fought and those who died on this day, 11th November. This day was brought about after the 1st World War and remembers those that fought then, and also those that fight now for our country.
Thanks,
J.Jex.

Indeed, my thoughts are with the families of the victims that fought for us.

Re: Remeberance Day
In Flanders Fields
By: Lieutenant Colonel John McCrae, MD (1872-1918)
Canadian Army
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.Become a supporting member!

Re: Remeberance Day

1. we will never forget the sacrifices made
2. we will live our lives forever in debt to all and forever greatful to the freedom we share.

Re: Remeberance Day
The Reason For Remembering
free·dom
The condition of being free of restraints.
Liberty of the person from slavery, detention, or oppression.
Political independence.
Exemption from the arbitrary exercise of authority in the performance of a specific action; civil liberty: freedom of assembly.
Exemption from an unpleasant or onerous condition: freedom from want.
The capacity to exercise choice; free will <--- the most important

It is foolish and wrong to mourn the men who died. Rather we should thank God that such men lived.
