Today is the 11th day of the 11th month.

I'm fairly sure that only the UK, Aust, NZ, and maybe Canada recognise that date as significant.

Today is Rememberance Day. At 11am local time we observe 1 minute silence out of respect for ALL those who lost there livesduring wartime.

Lest We Forget ...... ALL war is BAD.

I think that, especially in our current days where we have to get used to the idea of war again, it's really important to look back. As a german I can say, that war never was good for our country. We only lost land, cities, history and most importantly lives. 

I think, that there should be one rule: The people responsible for the war, should be at the frontline. Then, there would never be a war again. 

Also, it's important to appreciate peace, as long as we still have it.
