This morning, now at 11am, we stop to remember the fallen. We remember those that made the ultimate sacrifice to enable us the freedoms and lives that we enjoy.
They shall grow not old, as we that are left grow old:
Age shall not weary them, nor the years condemn.
At the going down of the sun and in the morning,
We will remember them.
Lest We Forget
