The eleventh month on the eleventh day on the eleventh hour. We are silent. That's the way it's always been. We are silent to reflect and remember the fallen soldiers who fought for our freedom. It is so easy to take our freedom and our rights for granted. I haven't been directly affected by war and I hope it stays that way. For many people, for much of the world all they might ever know is war. Young children who should be crying over scraped knees, are crying over gunshots. That's the harsh reality for too many people. I am very grateful that I do not have to face these realities. Every day we are a step closer to peace. Everyone deserves peace. Everyone deserves to live without violation of their basic rights. One day this all will be a distant memory. One day.
