Tomorrow, November 11th, is Remembrance Day. (in Canada, anyway) and I thought that everyone should take some time to remember all those who died in war so that we might live in peace. These young people did not know what awaited them in war, nor did they know that what they did would have an impact on the rest of the world for all time.

Canadians will be at memorials and services tomorrow, and on the eleventh hour of the eleventh day of the eleventh month, there will be two minutes of silence across the country. Two minutes in which all those who died and all those who fought and lived will be honoured. Even if you are not Canadian or you do not observe this holiday, take time to reflect and be thankful that people you did not even know were willing to give up their lives for future generations.

Do not hate.War is started because of hate. They did not give up their lives so future generations could live in hate and intolerance. No, those brave men and women died so that we who are left can love one another, not hate.

Remember, and be thankful.

Oh God of hosts be with us yet, lest we forget, lest we forget
