Honor our veterans, liberty and memories of those we lost

Today is Remembrance day and I hope that everyone gave a moment on the 11 hour at the 11 minute as tribute to our veterans. It is the 90th anniversary of the Wars to end all wars.
This day makes me think of my grandfather that I had never the chance to meet. He served in WW2 and his father before him in WW1. It is because of men such as them that we have the freedom of choice our liberty that we so take for granted sometimes. As I was doing my exercises for my back I took special attention to the time. Once it reached 11h11am I stopped and gave my prayers to those who lost their lives and to our courageous soldiers serving abroad. They gave their lives so we may live on in relative peace.
Around the world, nations whom had lost more than a heart can take remembered their men as if they were never gone. Australia. Britain, Canada, France and the U.S. suffered millions of deaths in fields no bigger than a farm. I salute them all as I am proud of every one of our soldiers! Even today, we still wage war in the name of freedom and to give freedom of choice to those who do not have any.
When I gave a moment, the people at the clinic were looking at me as if I was doing something wrong. They were wondering what I was doing, but I was even more surprised that they would not give a moment of prayer in remembrance! As I have said numerous times, I am from Quebec and the people here during WW1 fled the conscription as they opposed the war. The coming of WW2, the lowest enlistment was from Quebec once again. In our schools here, (French schools) Remembrance day is not even implemented as I think it is disrespectful. Our youth have no idea about their history as they do not care of it nor does the French school system. How can we have a respectable society when our youth spit on the graves of those who would and have protected them. Today, this is my opinion and I am not afraid nor care about others thoughts about my opinion. Where has our dignity gone to when the rest of Canada remembers with their hearts and tears for lost of loved ones.
Please look at this video done by the Canadian government: http://video.google.ca/videosearch?q=Remembrance+day+ad+English&hl=en&emb=0&aq=f#
Long live our veterans, peace, liberty and most of all our cherished memories of them.
LEST WE FORGET
GOD BLESS
