I would just like to spend a few slient moments with you all in thanks for the many young men that lost their lives in an effort to keep the world as I know it free, as free as it can be.
They do not know who I am and they lost their lives many many years before I was born - but they sacrificed everthing for me.
I refuse to forget your plight, nor will I let my children or my childrens children..
I stand in your honour.. and thank you from the bottom of my heart.

You are never to old to storm a bouncey castle..

I managed to miss 11.00 today because I got caught up in what I was doing and didn't realise the time.
I had my own silence at 11 minutes past though.

But there's no sense crying over every mistake. You just keep on trying till you run out of cake.

Lest We Forget!!!
May all those brave souls rest in their heavens in peace for all eternity.
And wherever you've gone and wherever we might go. It don't seem fair. Today just disappeared.

I have never heard my college silent.
It was so respectful
I'm all contemplative now
Just as it should be.

I think the more of us that hold this day deeply in our hearts will make it more and more difficult to allow this to ever happen again.
Such loss of life and human suffering at the hands of so few should never ever be allowed to occupy energy on this planet.
I honour you as an aspect of myself..

Did you know they prolonged ww1 by waiting for the 11th hour of the 11th day to sign the treaty? It was some of the hardest fighting in the war to because everyone wanted to grab a little extra land incase it would mean they get to keep it when the treaty was signed.
ww1 wasn't a war for freedome or anything else. It was a disgusting loss of life for no reason at all.
