But remember to wear your poppy and to thank vet folks. The WWII vets are starting to thin out, and they wont be around, thank them while they are still here. and on Nov 11th, take the 2 minutes.

have a look at this video, I found it pretty moving.

2 minutes 1 day out of the year isnt much to ask.

Thanks to all veterans, and to all the people serving today.

A lot of people gave their lives for the freedoms we have today.

In Flanders Fields

In Flanders fields the poppies blow
Between the crosses, row on row
That mark our place; and in the sky
The larks, still bravely singing, fly
Scarce heard amid the guns below.
We are the Dead. Short days ago
We lived, felt dawn, saw sunset glow,
Loved and were loved, and now we lie
In Flanders fields.

Take up our quarrel with the foe:
To you from failing hands we throw
The torch; be yours to hold it high.
If ye break faith with us who die
We shall not sleep, though poppies grow
In Flanders fields.
