Armistice Day 11/11/11 (Hour, Day Month)

[Jack Peterson]

 

Fellow members, this evening at 7 pm (11 am UK time) I and a few Ex Military men  plus a few others will raise a glass and Observe the 2 minuet silence and take a Salute, In Remembrance of those that gave their lives in 2 World wars, so that we , may enjoy and Continue to enjoy what they unfortunately, never could. We do this at a Popular bar in Dumaguete. Lets hope some here, will do the same in Spirit if not in person.

LEST WE FORGET

Although we may never forget, peace comes with forgiveness.

I stood at my desk for the two minutes, somewhat to the surprise of my Chinese colleagues.

 

This afternoon I am going to see the poppies in the moat.

I typically view this day as introspective. In the US, Nov 11 is Veterans day. It used to be Armistice day until 1954. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Veterans_Day

 

We should all reflect on memories of those have fallen before us and relish in the freedoms thus granted for their ultimate sacrifice. 

 

I choose to make this a personal observation and refuse to attend ceremonies at the cemetery or gatherings (and am thankful I do not have to endure parades, etc.) from people who just talk. If I am not with veterans on that day, I am alone.

Lets us NEVER forget those that gave up everything either the living or the dead so that we may live in freedom and not tyranny :tiphat: :thumbsup:
