At the eleventh hour, of the eleventh day, of the eleventh month, the Armistice was signed. Bringing an end to one of the most horrifying chapters of human history.
It has been ninety one years since the end of World War I. Somehow, humanity hasn't learnt it's lesson. World War II, Korea, Vietnam, Afghanistan, Iraq. Humans continue to throw each other, at each other, to die.
Today, I personally intend to spend the day remembering those brave souls who gave all that they had to defend freedom and peace, as best as they knew how.
Remembering the fallen of the past, remembering the fallen of the present.
Mourning the fallen yet to come.
I for one will be bowing my head at the eleventh hour, this eleventh day of this eleventh month of this year two thousand and nine. To remember those who gave their lives.
