We will remember them...

[openmind]

Today at 11am, walk away from whatever you are doing and fall silent for just two minutes and spend the time thinking about those who have died in conflicts around the world...

These brave men and women fought and died for us as individuals so it doesn't matter if you are having a bad day at work or feeling grumpy, that is nothing compared to the sacrifice they made.

So today just one simple thing, just remember them....



PS - Please do not turn this thread into a debate about the rights and wrongs of war, it's purpose is not that...

[HuggyBear]

damn right i'll be paying my respect...

I salute all personnel dead or alive who have fought/still fighting for our country

Wear your poppy with pride...

[Petnanny]

I think everyone should try and remember to pay their respects. We would not be here without those who fought and died for us.

My Dad won the war singlehandedly building roads in Burma (or so he says) but his overriding memory was meeting boys who had become men almost overnight.

We owe those boys our thanks for the sacrifice they made.
