Memorial Day.

Lest We Forget!

Memorial Day was created shortly after World War One (The Great War) to commemorate all those who died protecting our countries. A treaty was signed which became known as Armistice hence the name Armistice Day.

The poppy symbolizes this event and you have have seen many people around our SIMs showing their support by wearing the Poppy. During the War many MANY people were killed and it took years to clear the corpses, however in that time poppy's grew with rich red petals which late became the symbolism for the soldiers blood.

I believe a similar ceremony took place of Friday (11/11/11) but today again a 2minutes silence took place in Aeon Sandbox. Zeus26 Elman donned his very own veteran outfit to celebrate this tradition.

Lest We Forget by Owen Griffiths

What do we forget when we remember 
What are the stories left untold 
What do we think each November 
As we march down that glory road 
As we march down that gory road 

One hundred million 
Don’t come home from war 
Another eight hundred million 
Who lived to bear its scar 
Who lived to bear its scar 

Lest we forget 
What they were dying for 
Lest we forget 
What they were killing for 
Lest we forget 
What the hell it was for 
  
What do we forget when we remember…
