So take a minute or two on Sunday if you can. A moment of silence out of respect for these people. If you want to be really on top of things, try and do it at 11AM.
Short post today. I'll see you guys on Tuesday.

Remembrance Weekend Post
I'm not sure how recognized Remembrance day is in the rest of the world but in Canada we kind of make a big deal out of it. Days off, school assemblies, wearing poppies, etc.. And I think there should be some attention paid to it, we're recognizing the sacrifices of the people who have fought in wars.

Ummm.... what's remembrance day?
ReplyDeleteI took the two minute silence to remember them buddy, this is an awesome post that sums up exactly how important Remembrance Day is and should always be, great stuff man.
ReplyDeleteLest We Forget.
ReplyDeleteI had my two minutes of silence at work this morning, and I'm going to put a poem up on one of my blogs later for it too. We should never forget.
ReplyDeleteIt's a big deal here in the UK too and it was a beautiful 2 minute silence at 11 am. Take care
ReplyDeletex
I forgot it was Veteran's day
ReplyDeleteIt's a big deal over here too with televised silences and programming dedicated to it on television and everyone wears a poppy. It's nice to see how big a deal it is everywhere else too.
ReplyDeleteYeah all should spare a thought for what we have thanks to those who got it for us.
ReplyDeleteGo Canada! The US makes a big deal of it in theory, but no one gets out of school or work. Lame!
ReplyDeleteLest we forget.
ReplyDeleteMillions of soldiers have made the ultimate sacrifice for something they believe in. Infinite respect for those men and women.
Nicely said!
ReplyDeleteIndeed.
ReplyDeleteHere in Hong Kong, the most we do is pin a poppy to our shirt, which even then is extremely rare. I think none of us here really care.
ReplyDeleteI'll be waiting.
ReplyDeleteit's a national nonworking holiday here too in Serbia. We celebrate the end of WW1 on this day. One third of our population died in the WW1 including every second male citizen :(
ReplyDeleteYes it was veterans day in the us yesterday! Great way to honor those who serve our country
ReplyDeleteMeanwhile, I forgot it was Veteran's Day here... Guess my silence comes a bit late.
ReplyDeleteWe celebrate Veterans day here - same idea - day of remembrance.
ReplyDeleteI was really happy to see people wearing poppy pins when we were in England a few years ago.
ReplyDeleteIn America we all it Veteran's Day. When Canada invades us and changes our name to Amerida we will change it to "Rememberance Day."
ReplyDeleteRemembrance Day is Veterans Day here. It's a big deal in the States.
ReplyDelete1 minute silence at 11am here in Australia. There's also marches by the veterans in town.
ReplyDeleteit is good to remember the sacrifices so many make for us all. very sobering thoughts, indeed.
ReplyDeleteNovember seems to be the month of respect to the diseased in most countries (1st of november over here)
ReplyDeleteMany federal offices are closed in the states...we don't get mail delivery. I wish we'd still wear poppies...I love that!
