@YoungJustice: @Jonny_Anonymous: @TheSheepHerder: @TheCannon: In canada its just called Remembrance Day, But still the idea is the same.

For those men and women who are in the active service or those who have served in previous wars. We did not ask you to go over there and defend us, nor did we ask you to lay down your lives for us. But you did, We did not ask you your feelings about going over; Nor did we tell you that you had to go. But you did.

There are so many of you who went overseas and saw combat though we did not want you to go, you did what had to be done. you defended just the one thing that you loved the most, Home. Many of you did not make it back, and its not just for the sake of those who are still alive that we remember; but for those who did not come back. We honor those memories of the people they were and all that they gave to protect who they were and those they loved.

To those who have passed, This day is marked not just as a reminder for what you commited to, but to cherish what you fought so hard to protect. Cherish the freedoms and life we have here. Cherish the family and friends that are still alive. Cherish the life that we could have tomorrow. Thank you, Lest we forget.

I would buy you a poppy, but someone shouted at me for wearing one :'( You are also in Scotland. So there's the distance thing.
