"Nobody has ever measured, not even poets, how much the heart can hold."- Zelda Fitzgerald

Remembrance Day

Wed Nov 11, 2009, 7:05 PM
I'm not exactly sure how to properly explain myself today. I wear the poppy to symbolize my deepest gratitude to the soldiers that gave their lives for my country's freedom and to remind others that they should not die in vain, but honestly...seven minutes of talking over the school's PA system is not remembrance. A moment of silence is not gratitude when courageous men and women gave up a lifetime of silence for us. How are my classmates supposed to appreciate the lengths these people went to when my own school will not give more than seven minutes of their time to talk about it? I wrote a piece about remembrance, but I can't post it because I submitted it for a themed contest in school and last time I posted something school-related some kid in my class ripped it off and handed it in to the same teacher, not the brightest form of plagerism. Either way, since I could not post it I'd like to give thanks to all those who came and died before my time, those who stood in the front lines and laid down their lives so I could exist in a world where I am able to express myself. On the eleventh day, at the eleventh hour of the eleventh month in nineteen eighteen the first World War officially ended; lest we not forget.

Peace.
