Most soldiers serve their countries. Many perish in that endeavour.
Remembrance Day (or Red Poppy Day) brings back to me that fact. Who can argue that there was not a brave soldier within the opposition's ranks? Who can say that all soldiers who died did so because of their personal beliefs?
To me this day evokes sadness; the fact that wars have, and will undoubtedly continue to be, fought. Sometimes it seems to be religious fervour, other times just a grab for power or territory.
Today I weep for all those who fell and those who were left behind.
