Remembrance Day - What does it mean to you?

[Baving]

Hello, what does Remembrance Day mean to you?

70% of people won't know someone who was involved but that doesn't mean you shouldn't care about it. If it hadn't have happened like it did you might not be here today, or you might be speaking German.

Thats a great point you got there.
Just put yourself in the killled ones shoes and then you'll know why it should mean something.

My grand-dad fought in the war, I believe. He died :(

[NekkLe]

I wouldn't know of anyone who really fought in the war, unless one of my great grandads or grandmas :s I still think about what happened though, respect those who fought for there country, they deserve it.

[Tash.]

It means alot to me. I didnt until i went to Beligum + France a few weeks ago. It really puts into perspective how many people died fighting for their country. It was really upsetting to see.

My great great grandad died in the first world war so it's always meant alot to me.
But even if he hadn't of I'd still do all the things I do do for 11/11 because its important to Englands history and culture <3

to me no offense to some but its 2 minute boredom

[Luayminator]

Sorry but.. absolutly nothing. I dont even come from any countries involved in it, yeah i feel sorry for them but it doesnt mean anything to me.

I don't really think about it to be honest, I was so sick of having it drumed into my head when I was younger, that I've grown up to not give a flying seagul feather. (random).

I mean, I do feel for the men and women who died, of course I do. And I am greatful for what they did. And I think its lovely the memorial services that are carried out across the world... but what I don't like, is the way the older generations are like: "You ungreatful kids, we did bla bla for you and you do bla bla back for us" I mean, it's like we should be eternally greatful and I dont think they would be happy until we sent them like emails/texts/letters what have you, every day of our lives saying "Omgz grandad, thanx so much for shooting da nazis for me, im lyke soooo eternally greatful".

Saying all this, I stood still at 11am on Sunday, and I did genuinely feel quite sad about all the people who died. R.I.P to them all. xx

I dont mean to sound disrespectful, but that is how I feel.
