Rememberance Day.

So today is Rememberance day, a time to remember those who have fought for us. Sigh...

To be honest, I never really thought much of it when I was younger, which is really kinda sad. I mean, most people didnt really understand the importance I guess. I mean...I understood that people fought and protected us, but really I didnt understand how much they were giving up.

I'm glad to say that I respect rememberance day much more now than I have in the passed years. I see those veterans selling their poppies and I see them on the news talking about how people are forgetting how important rememberance day is...then I think about how it lucky we are to not have to live in a time of war right now. I imagine how it would be if we were all fighting for our lives, and to see my closest friends dying all around, or dying myself around my closest friends trying to protect others at home...it's really sad that some people dont remember. I'm not saying everyone doesnt, but I know I've lost touch with how important this day really is.

So this rememberance day, I will remember, and I will be thankful for all that we have here in Canada. People shouldnt have to live through something as tradegic as that.

Thanks to everyone who gave up their lives to protect ours.
