OT Remembrance Day, Two minutes of silence Options

[GWN7]

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?

My Dad served from spring of 1941 to summer 1945, as volunteer, hunting Nazi submarines over the North Atlantic. 119 or so combat missions, more than 1,000 combat hours as a navigator flying in conditions that ranged from benign to insane.

We owe him the liberty we enjoy today . . . he passed away 10 years ago.

I am so proud to be Canadian.
