    Everyday we go on living our lives as if it's no big deal, that we've live life like that for years, like we'll always live that way, and that we get it for free. The truth, we don't, we have many men and women to thank for our lives, for our freedom.

    Though Veterans Day is mainly a holiday celebrated in the U.S., it's concept applies for every country all over the world. Everybody in their country may have a different type of freedom, and some still don't have a full sort of freedom(i.e. Africa with the blood wars, Afghanastan with the al queda terroist group terroizing it's citizens, and various other locations), but still their is someone fighting for their rights, YOUR rights, for our Freedom.

    We, in the United States, celebrate November 11 as a day to honor these people, though truthfully these people should be honored more often. No matter where you are, if you're grateful for your life thank the veterans who risk their life for yours.

    Thank You Veterans and those currently enlisted (if it be in the United States, Canada, Europe, Australia, etc.)

    Also known as "Remembrance Day" for the Commonwealth Countries (Australia, England, South Africa, Canada etc) to mark the day when Germany signed the Armistice which led an end to the World War in 1918.
    Signed on the 11th Day of the 11th Month on the passing of the 11th Hour, it is traditional to hold a minute of silence for those lost and those alive during the times of World War terrors, during the 11th hour of this day. Red Poppies are also a tradition, since their blooming in the battle fields of Flanders. The red symbolises the blood spilt during the battles. Worn as a pin, scattered across fields, layed upon graves, these acts are a tribute to those who fought chivalrously.

    Lest We Forget.
