    Lest we forget, never again

    For those of you who are unaware of Remembrance Day, and the significance of this day to Soldiers and Citizens across the world, I share with you a brief background on the day.

    Remembrance Day (also known as Poppy Day, Armistice Day and Veterans Day) is a memorial day observed in Commonwealth countries since the end of World War I to remember the members of their armed forces who have died in the line of duty.
    Remembrance Day is observed on 11 November to recall the official end of World War I on that date in 1918; hostilities formally ended "at the 11th hour of the 11th day of the 11th month" of 1918 with the German signing of the Armistice ("at the 11th hour" refers to the passing of the 11th hour, or 11:00 a.m.).

    So I ask you to take a moment out of your lives, at 11 o'clock AM, and share with me and the world; two minutes of silence in honour of our fallen soldiers, and to pay respect to the soldiers currently fighting in war.

    I would also like to ask that any discussions in this topic, or comments you make are kept respectful.
    War, Death, and times of Remembrance are very touchy subjects for many; and I will not hesitate in editing or deleting your post if it is blatantly disrespectful.
    While I do not normally agree with censorship, disrespect against the dead and those who fought for our freedom is where I draw the line.

    Nah, but we have a Tag der Deutsche Einheit.
    We celebrate the fall of the DDR on that day.
