#LestWeForget #RemembranceDay #VeteransDay
"They gave their tomorrow for our today."
This year and I thank my mom for sending me an article about it finding out the 2 minute moment of silence was first displayed on the day when the Armistice Agreement was signed on that same day at noon in Cape Town, South Africa in 1918 a the first moment of silence commenced and was adopted by the rest of commonwealth and the world a year after.
For those who have served during the past ancient or modern wars, wars that many may not remember lets remember them, including my family who served in #WW1
