The guns of the Great War finally fell silent at 11:00 on the 11th day of the 11th month (November) 1918. Observing the two minute silence at that time and on that date each year, reinforces the silent contemplation, reflection or prayer for those who risked or laid down their lives for your freedom. It’s an expression of respect. If you’re unwilling to take just 120 seconds from your day to demonstrate your thanks, remember that those who died, also died for your freedom to be ignorant, indifferent and selfish. They placed no conditions on their sacrifice. Nor do those who continue to serve.
