Tomorrow is November 11th. And at the 11th hour of the 11th day of the 11th month, please pause for a minute or 2 to remember our fallen troops in all wars. Of course, November 11th marks the end of World War I, 98 years ago. But Remembrance Day isn't just for the fallen in that war, World War II or the Korean conflict. It's for all service members in all branches of the military who gave their lives in conflict.
There are some who say Remembrance Day, and the U.S version, Veterans Day, glorifies war. It does not. It's meant as a time to pay silent tribute and give thanks to those who fought and died for their country. And, to me at least, it's also for veterans everywhere, regardless of whether they served in combat or not.
I know I will pause at 11:00 on 11/11.
