Armistice day reflection

20 million dead, 21 million wounded, what does that remind you of ?  Well for me it's when ever I hear the words Armistice day or WW1. I think of all the people that have been killed and wounded just to make not only our lives but the lives of the future much better. In the First World War almost every family was effected or touched by the tragedy of the war, with sons and brothers leaving to go half way around the world with in idea if they will ever come back. Many towns in Europe were involved in the great land battles. These soldiers fought for us and for that we owe it to them to honour the bravery and courage displayed. Armistice Day allows us to remember the soldiers that sacrificed everything for us. So on the 11 day of the 11 month at 11 o'clock stop and think the thousands and thousands of men and woman that went to war.
