November 11th is Remembrance Day here. It started as a day to remember those who fought so we could have freedom in the first world war.

World war 1 ended on the 11th day of the 11th month at the 11th hour.

Traditionally two minutes of silence is held at that time for those that fought and died for freedom.

The tradition of Remembrance Day has been carried on to include all those who have served in the armed forces.

I won't be here to post this on the 11th (off to one of the other houses for a few days)

So here's a LINK to a short video about the 11th.

Got two minutes?

Politically Speaking...... Yes....it would be Politically correct.... to do so... alas...as we have no political content here.... So I will refrain from making an American response regarding VETERANS DAY 2004...... other-than to describe the color of my 914.... Red .....as-in the color of blood spilled to keep our symbol of freedom flying ....
