Remembrance Day

Why exactly is Remembrance Day important? What are we remembering? How are we remembering?


Remembrance day is a day to remember all those who fought in war. It's the day that world war one ended, at 11 am on November 11th 1918. 
To remember the millions of lives that were lost in fight for every one's freedom. 
So many people will wear a poppy year round because its not something we should just give a thought to for two minutes once every year, its a major event in our world history, it'd be horrible to just forget everything that those people did for us, for everyone.
It's important because a promise was made not to forget, so that we wouldn't make the same mistakes we did, Lest we forget. nations made mistakes, and we went to war, war that killed millions, just for the sake of pride.
we remember threw wearing poppies, writing stories, listening to veterans who live with the memories of war. many authors write novels of war times, they set the story time line in world war, Narnia for example was set in that time line. There's the classic soldier boy goes off to war and kisses his girlfriend or wife and children good bye, and then never returns.
The peace sign use to stand for victory, victory for winning the war until it was changed to peace.
when we think of world fighting, going to war we bounce our ideas off of WWI and WWII. We write about WWIII.
All our tragic theories and ideas of war are connected to the world wars, we remember threw our ideas and thoughts of war.
