Remembrance Day

[UncoordinatedPisces]

Just had my two minutes silence. I think we should all take a moment to remember those who have died in all the wars us humans have had. Rest In Peace soldiers of the world, and let there never be a war of such proportions as WWI and WWII ever again.

Aye, I did aswell. Turned my music off and thought about all those who lost their lives. RIP and thinking of their families on this day.

Bin Laden.

And yep, had a minute silence at work earlier

Had my minute of silence just now, and said a prayer. May all of the soldiers who have died protecting their countries Rest In Peace, and may their families left behind see them again, someday. And may those still fighting return home safely.

I had a minute of remembrance at church. Rest in eternal peace to the countless lives lost defending this nation since the outbreak of the American Revolutionary War, and a successful transition back home when all fighting is done come 2014.

And just to share, my grandfather, 82, served in the U.S. army during the Korean War.

Never. Why? "Because some men aren't looking for anything logical. They can't be bought, bullied, reasoned, or negotiated with. Some men just want to watch the world burn."

Adolf Hitler and Osama bin Laden come to mind.

Wow. Much respect.

I went to the Remembrance Day service yesterday. I had my moment of silence there, along with my prayers. It was a lovely service, and I feel so blessed to be able to go to church. I mean, if it weren't for those soldiers who gave up their lives so many years ago, who knows what situation we would be in today?

God bless.

Oh really? Wow. I had a Grandfather who served in WW2, in Germany. He liberated some concentration camps. He was a sniper, actually. I also had a great uncle who served in WW2 as one of those bomber guys, you know the planes that dropped those bombs on stuff. I don't remember what kind of plane he flew though. Both are deceased.

I believe those planes are called "bombers", and rest in peace to your grandfather and great uncle! What war heroes!
