For those who don't know what Remembrance Day is - here's a short extract from the Royal British Leigion website:
'Remembrance Day and the Two Minute Silence have been observed since the end of the First World War, but their relevance remains undiminished. When we bow our heads in reflection, we remember those who fought for our freedom during the two World Wars. But we also mourn and honour those who have lost their lives in more recent conflicts. Today, with troops on duty in Iraq, Afghanistan and other trouble spots around the world, Remembrance, and this two minute tribute, are as important as ever'
11/11, I'll be selling poppies for the Poppy Appeal, all monies go to Veterans of HK. See ya on the street!
(Please be respectful and don't post any anti-war comments, thanks)

Awesome. Thanks for the post Michelle. I should have remembered that we have "Veterans Day" on the 11th in the US. Same thing - but you guys probably do a MUCH better job of revering them!!! Especially NOW in the US. Thanks again for reminding us to be thankful of these AMAZING men & women of our past.
