Βyakuya Posted November 11, 2010 Report Share Posted November 11, 2010 *salutes* My "arch nemesis" friend says he doesn't care about the veterans or the military. Too bad. Wait, are we really talking about Veteran's Day? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bahamut - Envoy of the End Posted November 11, 2010 Report Share Posted November 11, 2010 Glad a thread got started on this. Went to work today. Only me and the gym receptionist were wearing our poppies. Was quite rubbish. Bless the people who fought for our countries. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cin Posted November 11, 2010 Report Share Posted November 11, 2010 I make sure I always get a poppy, give £1 each time. Got annoyed that my sister seemed to be being noisy upstairs, 2nd year in a row, she has work for Sunday's 1 minute silence. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Amethyst Phoenix Posted November 12, 2010 Report Share Posted November 12, 2010 Veteran's day is on this date because today is Armistice Day 1918. That's the end of the fighting in WWI. [/funfact] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NeoDemonX Posted November 12, 2010 Report Share Posted November 12, 2010 Yes remember that Canada saved your asses and for Canada we remember our soldiers but its funny that both of our leaders that are not in their countries. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dark Posted November 12, 2010 Report Share Posted November 12, 2010 I personally do not respect soliders (not respecting is not the same as disrespecting) who chose to join the army, but I feel quite a lot of sympathy and genuine respect for those drafted into the army. Were we supposed to have a moment of silence today? If so, my school totally forgot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clair Posted November 12, 2010 Report Share Posted November 12, 2010 My school forgot about the moment of silence deal... until they hurriedly announced that we were having it at the end of last period. Of course by then, nobody would shut up to spare a minute. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Smesh Posted November 12, 2010 Report Share Posted November 12, 2010 Inb4americasucks I myself am anti-war, but if one of my friends wants to join the military, I won't stop them. I respect those who have given their lives for us, I just don't respect the war and some actions taken during it. EDIT: Our school did have a moment of silence, and since there's an Air Force Base nearby us, we had a veteran come speak. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EliminateHRN Posted November 14, 2010 Report Share Posted November 14, 2010 Kinda late, but whatever. I'm anti-war, but I currently have a relative over in Afghanistan, so I respect anyone who fights for our freedom. Also, we didn't have a moment of silence, it seemed like no one remembered.
