Remembrance Day has always given me a strange mix of feelings-my parents were German children during WWII. Of all their war anecdotes, the one that comes to mind most often was of one of their cousins that refused kill. Of course he did not escape Hitlers draft and promptly died in the first moments of battle–it defined heroism to me.

Dear Michelle ~ Remembrance Day has been very meaningful and emotional over here this year…remembering the dead from two world wars seemed especially poignant together with Afganistan

Thank you

Awww, Michell, this brought tears to my eyes. So beautiful and poignant. So many have lost their lives and sooo many have suffered life-long physical or emotional crippling. My heart goes out to these people. I’ve had friends who have suffered for years who were in Viet Nam and every time I talk with them I pray that we humans can reach a point in our evolution where war no longer exists. I think that is probably far down the road, but I want to believe that there will be an end to all war. That is my prayer for today. Thank you dear Michelle for touching my heart today. Hugs, Robin

I have had actually had people yell at me when I was working at Timmys when I told them we were honoring the people that have died and are currently helping our country. I had someone say “you still have a minute until 11, take my order!” :/ I eventually had to say words that on a normal day would have gotten me fired. I couldn’t believe how disrespectful they were.

My fear is that once the only history we have of the wars is in textbooks that people will forget and that would be a horrible thing to happen. its starting to happen in some places now :/

How very poignant, Michelle. Yes, we must always remember.
