Last night, after taking my family out to an evening dinner at a local Vietnamese Restaurant, we went out for a drive to our local beachfront and got caught in so much traffic trying to go to various places.
It was a timely reminder to remember all of the fallen soldiers and their families who sacrificed their lives in want of a better future and a better world. It's so sad to reflect that there are still wars continuing in different parts of the world still today.
As in deference to this, many shops have chosen to open at 1pm today, in respect and also with Poppy's being sold to commemorate this time. For me, I wanted to consider donating to something that doesn't commemorate war although I have supported in years past.
Lest we forget, but also that there is so much for us to learn about not repeating mistakes such as this from the past...
