November 11th…
Remembrance Day in Canada…
Veterans Day in the USA…
Called other things in other countries…
But the spirit remains the same…
Lest We Forget…
Lest We Forget the sacrifices made by those who fought…
November 11th, 1918 was the date of the Armistice Signing…Resulting in a Cease Fire…101 years ago today…
But it was The Treaty of Versailles – signed June 28th 1919; 5 years to the day after the Assassination of Archduke Frank Ferdinand and his Wife Sophie, Duchess of Hohenberg; and event that lead to the war in the first place; – that brought a per verbally end to World War I. The War to End ALL Wars…
But it didn’t…
As history has shown us…War continues even now…as humans fight other humans for whatever they think they need to fight for…except no one these days seems to be fighting for Peace…no one seems to be fighting for a world where everyone lives in relative harmony…where no matter where you travel…you will be as safe as you want to be.
But I have hope…that one day…we as a world will stop and say…Enough…
That we look at all those who have made the ultimate sacrifice so that we can continue to live and say…let’s not make these sacrifices worthless; let us honour what they so desperately fought for and make it a reality.
I Hope I Am Alive To See This Day…
Lest We Forget…
