I ...We're all fine ... life moves right along!<br /><br />I used to teach students that the 11th hour of the 11th day of the 11th month = armistice ending WWI. I know that armistice signing was done on purpose at that particular time, and this was a good way for kids to be able to remember what and when and why. I made sure we had just finished a unit on poetry which focused on Wilfred Owen's and Siegfried Sassoon's works. It worked -- especially with high school seniors, for some reason!Marilynnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04723534467755518359noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28879052.post-17097372111521005862010-11-11T09:32:54.334-06:002010-11-11T09:32:54.334-06:00Fantastic post!!!

We wear poppies, there are many ceremonies/services country-wide as well as the big one in our nation's capital, and we have our two minutes of silence at 11AM.<br /><br />Both of our mom's grandfathers served in WWII, and she has a first cousin who has been in Afghanistan. <br /><br />We're so lucky to live in a country (countries) where we enjoy so many freedoms, where we have peace.Keahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06809655107065918944noreply@blogger.com
