11th Day of the 11th Month

[Rat Faced]

So, i'd like to take this opportunity to remind everyone that lots of people have died in lots of wars, from lots of countries.

Today is Rememberance Day, and my thoughts are with all those that have died in the past in order that i may have the freedom to be here today.

Blessed Be

My thoughts go not just to those that fought, but also to the innocent that suffered

It is important not to forget and to honour those that died in our name. For our right to live as we choose today.

I'd also like to remember those civillians that lost their lives.

My thoughts go out to all of those who fought for our freedoms and paid the ultimate sacrifice, and also to the brave men and women who are currently protecting us.

"If you are able,


save for them a place inside of you


and save one backward glance when you are leaving


for the places they can no longer go.


Be not ashamed to say you loved them,


though you may or may not have always.


Take what they have taught you with their dying


and keep it with your own.


And in that time when men decide and feel safe


to call the war insane,


take one moment to embrace those gentle heroes you left behind."

In honor and memory of all vets who served,

and especially those who answered the call to combat.

Please take a moment, regardless of your views on the current political climate, to remember our troops in the middle east, and to pray, however you see fit, for their safe return.
