Today, November 11, 2018, marks the 100th anniversary of the signing of the Armistice between the Central and Allied Powers, officially ending World War 1.
The horrific loss of life was staggering, for those fighting in the trenches and as well as civilians.
War must always be the last alternative in resolving conflicts between nations.
Diplomacy must always come first.
Always show Respect, especially for the Fallen.

In Flanders Fields by John McCrae 1872-1918
In Flanders fields the poppies blow
Between the crosses, row on row, That mark our place; and in the sky
The larks, still bravely singing, fly
Scarce heard amid the guns below.
We are the Dead. Short days ago
We lived, felt dawn, saw sunset glow,
Loved and were loved, and now we lie
In Flanders fields.
Take up our quarrel with the foe:
To you from failing hands we throw
The torch; be yours to hold it high. If ye break faith with us who die
We shall not sleep, though poppies grow
In Flanders fields.
