Today is Nov. 11 and it made me think. This is a game about killing for sure, but it is still a game. Some of the drama that arises is annoying, but thats all it is as it will always rise and fall. In the grand scheme, the problems people may have with each other on here or in the real world are pretty unimportant, but they are our right to have and to me it is all thanks the many young men and women that have fought for their country in order to try and help keep it free. Today is a day to remember those that risked their lives, and in many cases lost them, all so we could have the lives we do today. In Flanders fields the poppies blow Between the crosses, row on row, That mark our place; and in the sky The larks, still bravely singing, fly Scarce heard amid the guns below. We are the Dead. Short days ago We lived, felt dawn, saw sunset glow, Loved, and were loved, and now we lie In Flanders Fields. Take up our quarrel with the foe: To you from failing hands we throw The torch; be yours to hold it high. If ye break faith with us who die We shall not sleep, though poppies grow In Flanders Fields. - John McCrae Please take a moment today to remember what is really important. If you see a vet or someone that is currently serving maybe you should walk up to them and say thank you, there is a good chance you will make their day all the better. These men and women deserve our thanks and seldom get enough of it. Lest we forget... |
