Hope you guys aren't forgetting something

[rossmum]

They shall grow not old, as we that are left grow old:
Age shall not weary them, nor the years condemn
At the going down of the sun and in the morning
We will remember them.

Lest we forget.

[Rob Oplawar]

[Timo]

No, it's not. You guys know it as Veteran's day though, we call it either Remembrance Day or Armistice Day. At the 11th hour of the 11th day of the 11th month, 1918, WWI ended.

Please tell me you guys are fucking with me and people aren't seriously letting this slide...

[Bodzilla]

i remembered.

What kind of sothern gibberish is this?

Also had no class teacher at the time but the 5 of us stood up for a min anyway.

[Pope]

Remembrance day. Make sure you guys try and make it out to your local ceremonies.

[FluffyDucky™]

All the schools Victoria wide had a minute silence at 10:59. :)

[thehoodedsmack]

Remembrance Day! *salute*

[ExAm]

Ohhhh, so that's why I don't have school tomorrow!

[Heathen]

and I do >.>

Its ok though.

I live in louisiana so I get all these useless Catholic holidays off.

[rossmum]

Funny, I didn't know all those soldiers died so you guys could slack off school.

[Sel]

Well what else would they have fought for :downs:

[Sever]

For those about to rock who have served, we salute you.

Noone realizes it's Veterans Day? Or you guys all thought a day off from school was random and that whole assembly about the veterans shit was just completely random.

[Syuusuke]

One of the ways we celebrate this is by not going to school...according to our higher authorities.

rossir, im going to steal that. thanks

[FlyingStone]

Never forgot

Maybe I shouldn't have, but the song seemed to fit well with a memorial sspeech I just saw and heard.

[Kornman00]

I remembered...I got today and yesterday off :-3

[armoman92]

veterans day, no school

[Siliconmaster]

Apparently our college doesn't give us the day off, but I did remember.

[Huero]

and I do >.>

Its ok though.

and confederate independence day :downs:

In Maryland people remembered the holiday but pretty much forgot the reason for it

Our school doesn't give us the day off. Doesn't mean I forgot, however.

[Saggy]

Yesterday got school off for some weird ass reason, but today we had our moment of silence/15 minute assembly.

[JunkfoodMan]

I remembered. My whole school remembered. 5 mins silence.
Also, what made the thing totally suck was the fact that one of my teachers stood up and sang the song about the aus-turk war or something, and he sung in an irish folky accent. It was so embarrassing.

[Roostervier]

Yesterday was the USMC's birthday, the 233rd. Can't think of any other reason, though it doesn't seem likely that it would be because of that.

[ultama121]

Lest we forget.

I actually had yesterday off rather than today.
On a lighter note,

[TeeKup]

Veterans Day you fucking jackasses.

[Hotrod]

Yeah, it was Remembrance Day today. At school, we had a shitty ceremony, wasn't well done, and was over the intercom as well...

[jngrow]

Veteran's Day, have the day off. Pretty much impossible to forget for me, as we have the day off in the middle of the fucking week, really weird/annoying.
