This is an important day in our calendar. Today we remember those who fought for justice, truth and freedom in this world. Specifically this holiday commemorates the war that was often called "The War to End All Wars." That means that those who lived through this war and fought in it sincerely believed that it would be the last. They believed that no one would ever wage war again after what they had seen, read and heard. They were astonished at the horrible things they were forced to do and never wanted it to happen again.
Why didn't we listen to them? I'm not just talking to some of us I'm talking to all of us. The best way to honor those who fought in this war is to do everything we can to prevent it from ever happening again.
