November 11th, a holiday that does not ask anything of us, except a little of our time, and respect for what it represents.
It does not want us to buy presents, there is no card, no chocolates to mark this occasion.
This holiday asks one thing of us, to take two tiny minutes out of our day and think about those that have given their lives in the name of freedom.
I am unsure if this holiday exists all over the world, here in Canada we call it Remembrance Day, the Americans Memorial Day I believe. What ever you call it, I hope you take two minutes of our time today and honour it.
