Today is Rememberance Day, the day that we give thanks to those who fought to keep us free. Today we give two minutes of our time to do this. Is this right??? Though I strongly believe wars of any kind are wrong and that we should be able to find other ways to solve issues without violence, I am very grateful for these people. They risked there lives to ensure we could be free. So why is it we only give two minutes of silence, why is it there are only a dedicated few that show up for their parades? Why don't we have bigger monuments for these hero's???
Because of these men and women we are free and unfortunately to this day we still take that freedom for granted!!! Take a look at what is happening in Afganistan, Iran, and other third world countries, we don't suffer those atrociaties and it is because men and women died because they loved this country.
Every year I see less and less vetrans out selling poppies. These men and women help to remind us of the hell we could be living right now if it wasn't for them. This generation won't be around for much longer. Who will sell the poppies when they are gone?
