Remembrance Day - Take a Moment to Remember

November 11th is Remembrance Day in Canada. 11:11.

We take this day to remember those who have died in past wars, those who are currently serving, and those who will die and serve in future wars. It is our tradition to take a minute of silence and remember the fallen.

No matter where you are from, I invite you to bow your head and heart, and take a minute of silence and remembrance for our veterans.

Lest We Forget.

John McCrae

Lieutenant-Colonel John McCrae (November 30, 1872 – January 28, 1918) was a Canadian poet, physician, author, artist and soldier during World War I, and a surgeon during the Second Battle of Ypres, in Belgium. He is best known for writing the famous war memorial poem "In Flanders Fields". McCrae died of pneumonia near the end of the war.

Remember, Remember…
by Susan Jarvis Bryant

No thankful foot falls on the London street
In honour of our brave and voiceless dead.
Remembrance Sunday’s rendered incomplete
Without the steadfast march and sombre tread
Of those who know the bullet-ridden cost
Borne in blood and bone in barbarous wars
For liberty our land has almost lost
To despots who have barred the people’s doors.
They plot in history’s halls—the very walls
That Guy Fawkes failed to fell with fury’s flame.
The muzzled Queen observes their protocols
With poppies at the tomb that bears no name.

We’ll not forgive such brazen treachery.
We’ll not forget the souls who set us free.



Remembrance Day
by Damian Robin

We fight in many ways, some stay at home, apart,
And wear no uniform except soft flesh.
Some train, stand ready, are not called. They have their part.
We have a single mind—keep freedom fresh.

Some marshal paperwork, sort buildings, gear, and stocks,
Supply from distance, metal parts and food.
Some of us fight with just debate and ballot box,
Risk argument turned treacherous and crude.

But those who stood in bullets’ way, in sleepless trench,
Or armoured strategies hard blown apart,
May see their names carved, deep and clear, on garden bench,
Or marble wall, or loved one’s solid heart.

Yet all of us must play our standing, righteous parts.
For fragile Liberty has need of our true hearts.



Laurence Binyon, For The Fallen
"They shall grow not old, as we that are left grow old: Age shall not weary them, nor the years condemn. / At the going down of the sun and in the morning, We will remember them."



God Bless Our Veterans. Past, Present, and Future.

We shall not sleep, though poppies grow, in Flander's field, row by row.

This isn't the thread for drunk posting.

Let's have some respect.

If you remember anything when your sober. Remember how you shamed yourself here today.

Lest we forget.

Respect to U.S. Veterans!!!

The replies to his message aren't very flattering, that's for sure, though.

I’m currently conducting our annual Homeless Veterans Awareness Campaign we do every year. We go homeless for the weekend to raise funds and awareness to assist our veterans in need in my community.

Thank you Vets for all you have done now and in the past. You will not be forgotten.

WW1 was absolutely horrible. Those young men had no choice but to fight and die for their kings. Which led to the deaths of the Russian empire, the British empire, the French empire, the Ottoman empire, the Austrian empire.
