Some people say we need to celebrate Remembrance Day by having a moment of silence to reflect upon the sacrifices that our veterans made in the two world wars. I don't believe that the moment of silence does this day justice any more. That sacred moment of silence has been copied and moved around to suit the occasion, thus losing its original symbolism.
I am replacing the moment of silence with something more profound. This blog entry. I am celebrating the freedoms that we were granted through the sacrifices of those who died overseas by using that freedom to post to the internet and express myself without worry of persecution because I have different thoughts and beliefs.
Instead of having a moment of silence to remember and reflect upon the actions of the soldiers who won us our much loved freedom, show your appreciation by doing something that you can only do with such freedom.
Be creative.
