Today is rememberance day. To most of you it's just another stat holiday you have off or have to work. To others it holds a special meanning. A day to remember a;; the fallen service personall who have give their lives in the service to their nation. To me today has grown to be a day of conflitied emotions. I am a Canadian born and bred, and I would willingly give my life to protect all that this nation has given me. I have the greatest respect of the service men and women out there right now putting all on the line so that I can sit here in home and type this out without having to worry that someone's going bust down the door drag me off into the night to do who knows what horrible things to other humans. However I am also of German decent. My Oma, and Opa came to Canada post 45. So I still have a strong connection to that part of my family tree. Now that I am much older than a grade school child I've come to learn that many of my relitives were in the German armed forces at the time of conflit. Which leaves me to question what do I do on this day. Do I pay respect to the vetrens of my home nation who may have pulled the trigger ending one of my relitives lives or do I honor my fallen relitives and be called a neo-nazi?

The allies fought and died to keep their country free. If this is indeed a free country, and you have the freedom of thought, and freedom of speech, did they not fight for your right to do what ever the fuck you want?
