I was in A.S.D.A. Kings Hill, Sunday 8th November 2015 and the lady serving me said everything will stop for two minutes at 11:00 a.m. I am good for that.

However, everyone in the store stopped, no noise except a man and a woman obviously related via marriage, kept on chatting and moaning about hurrying up.

When the silence had finished they ran as I and some others wanted to thump them.

My Grand Father came over from Ireland in 1939 to join the British army (as Ireland were neutral like the Swiss) to fight the Nazi's and Japanese and their allies so that future generations would survive and we had a better life to live.

If the Nazi's would had won, life would be white, European, blue eyed and xtian only.

Just to add Nazis murdered not only Jews, but Slavs, Gipsies, homeless, unemployed anyone that did not fit their ideal.

They would had turned on the Japanese and their allies soon enough.

My Grand Father died in 1971 (he served in WWII 1939-1945 (finished in the Army in 1950)) and I was around two (2) I never had a Grand Father and my mothers Father was an illegal immigrant so he scampered back to French Canada before the fifties (50's).

I am Jewish, my family background is Jewish, I wear a Yamaka when festivals are on like Hanukkah on December the 6th, I don't push it so much.

I also would had been not born to my parents as they would had been murdered.

My point is, if you are anti war, remember, Men, Women and Children some forced, conscripted or volunteered to fight a terrible army and their allies so we can have a better world.

So just respect the two(2) minute silence and move on.

I am not really into xmas and easter, but we do it, as an Englishman you do it for the kids.

Two things about war.

1. War is Hell.

2. In war, there are no civilians.

Dad, thanks for serving your country and raising a wonderful family. I love and miss you.

POLAND is celebrating NATIONAL INDEPENDENCE DAY on November, 11th.

This holiday was created in order to commemorate the restoration of Poland's sovereignty after WW1 (in 1918), after 123 years of partition by the Russian Empire, the Kingdom of Prussia and the Habsburg Empire.

LONG LIVE MY COUNTRY ! LONG LIVE POLAND !

Originally Armistice Day to commemorate the end of World War I, but now a time to remember all veterans of all wars, and a time for us veterans to remember our comrades, living and dead, that we served with, because we never forget the dead when we are thinking about the living. They call it survivor's remorse.
