Did you observe the minutes silence at 11am on Armistice Day (Nov 11)? Why or why not?

We attended a Veterans Day ceremony here in the states, and observed a moment of silence.

Good to hear

Not that I know of. Although, I did, today. I was sound asleep, at the time.

Yes. We gathered to protect the cenotaph from legions of pro Palestinian protestors.

Excellent well done 👏. As a patriotic Englishman I'm very proud of you and your actions

Yes well done. It would be appalling if that had happened. Highly disrespectful; not that they would have cared to be respectful of a minutes silence.

ANZAC is a much bigger day in Australia then Remembrance (Armistice) Day. It helps that it is a Dawn Service I think. There is more commitment to get up early to go to it.

It is more mournful to start the ANZAC Service with Last Post in the dark of night and finish with Reveille in the light of day. It leaves me with a mix of mournful and optimistic emotions which is kinda the point.

@RavVid well we all stop on the 11/11 at 11 o clock and then there's remembrance Sunday which was yesterday.

I was thirty minutes late but still did. I think it is appropriate to remember those lives

That's a thing?

[CubaPirate]

Absolutely to commemorate the lives lost in Wars

[KostasKouvalis]

I'm not doing that

[CubaPirate]

That's entirely your perogative
