Lest We Forget...

[Themanofbat]

In Flanders fields the poppies blow
Between the crosses, row on row,
That mark our place; and in the sky
The larks, still bravely singing, fly
Scarce heard amid the guns below.

We are the Dead. Short days ago
We lived, felt dawn, saw sunset glow,
Loved and were loved, and now we lie
In Flanders fields.

Take up our quarrel with the foe:
To you from failing hands we throw
The torch; be yours to hold it high.
If ye break faith with us who die
We shall not sleep,
though poppies grow
In Flanders fields.

Maybe we could all take a few moments today and thank the countless lives that have been lost so we could have the pleasure of living a a lifestyle of being lazy, reading comic books, and jerking off to internet porn.

 

[Ronny Shade]

I take those minutes every day.

 

[Darthphere]

Veteran's Day is a sham.

 

[Themanofbat]

But in Canada, Rememberance Day is really the day to remember...

 

[Mee]

Remember that you're stuck living in Canada.

 

[Erzengel]

My dad is a veteran. [/Captain America]

 

[Darthphere]

Veterans Day isn't even about the people that died, that's what Memorial Day is for. Veteran's Day is for the crazy homeless Vietnam vet on the street corner.

 

[Badger]

They are people too Darth.

 

[Erzengel]

He's upset because they don't allow him into their spaghetti dinners at the VFW.

 

[Darthphere]

Hey, I didn't make them go into the military. It's not like they were drafted....wait.

 

[jaguarr]

They are people too Darth.

Some of them were. Once.

[Ronny Shade]

Some of them were. Once.

Removing the head or destroying the brain.

I had a minute of silence as well....

 

[The Original Bamfer]

Wait, is that today?

 

[Ronny Shade]

I've been silent for probably a few hours total since I've been awake.

 

[The Original Bamfer]

I'm sure it's much appreciated.

 

[Ronny Shade]

by my coworkers? Probably.
