Armistice memorial Day 2016
9 years ago
(This post is early for 2 reasons one to show my friends abroad the importance of the 11th and 2. To be the first thing to appear on my British friend's news feed.)
Ladies and gentlemen it is that today we celebrate the 98th anniversary the end of the First World War 1914 to 1918.
It is with the greatest admiration, respect and resolve of all my heart that I ask you all to stand with each other shoulder to shoulder with our necks to the back of our collars, our chins up with pride, our minds in sync of memory and our hearts beatng as one.
Whether you are British, Irish, American, Russian, German, Austrian, Australian Hungarian Belgian French Italian, African, Indian and other proud nations across the globe we regardless of country or nationality are one of a great nation to us that took part in the bloodiest cruelest and most heinous of Wars to date at that time.
whether you are black or white gay or straight rich or poor religious or not. All is fair in love and War it was nearly 100 years ago that our Nations Clash for the first time in the 20th century and sadly to say we all crashed again over 20 years later and still do today.
But we as a people and not as a label of identity in gender in colour or culture, are equals and death hurts you just as much as it will your enemy.
So for today upon the 11th hour of the 11th day of the 11th month let us put aside our differences and come together in grief and morning for our beloved fallen and brave soldiers, sailors, pilots, police officers, paramedics, firefighters and other worthy public servants, who have all past away in the line of duty to their country and the greater good of humanity equality Liberty and future for further generations to come.
