I am older though not the oldest of people on IC, I am not a pacifist, but at the same time I do not rejoice in war. I have a very simple and personal reason as to why I remember those who gave their lives in the two world wars and other conflicts, because they made the ultimate sacrifice I never had to, I never had to carry a gun, to take another life. I loathe and abhore the capitalist system and all it stands for, and those who should know better who support it at the highest levels. I wear a poppy becuase those who cannot, do not have to wear one for me. | |||

I give remembrance to a life lost in any war to present day. It is a sobering reminder of what it is to be human. A day also to mark the will to make it better. Lest we forget. | |||
