I have a simple request for the folks here on Dakka:

I am a member of the Canadian Military, and, as you should know, tomorrow is Remembrance Day. I just ask that tomorrow, at 11am whatever you time is, that you take a minute to reflect on the troops that have lost their lives serving in the line of duty. I don't want this to turn political. It's just a simple request from an Airman. Lest we Forget.

Then they came for the socialists, and I did not speak out--
because I was not a socialist;
Then they came for the trade unionists, and I did not speak out--
because I was not a trade unionist;
Then they came for the Jews, and I did not speak out--
because I was not a Jew;
Then they came for me--
and there was no one left to speak out for me.
~Martin Niemoller

While his poem was written about the actions of the Nazis during WWII, it has deeper meaning that is timeless.

The tree of liberty must constantly be refreshed by the blood of patriots and tyrants.
~Thomas Jefferson

Let us remember the soldiers that have stood up to defend this nation (and others!), its citizens , and its ideals (Constitution and bill of Rights). They have answered our country's call, and have sacrificed, so that other don't have to. ]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/264997/1105580.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/264997/1105580.page GMT http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/264997/1105599.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/264997/1105599.page GMT WE FORGET! ]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/264997/1106028.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/264997/1106028.page GMT
