One of the general managers of one of our departments is an ex-army general.

On today's date, each year, at 10:57 AM, he takes command of the all-encompassing corporate PA system and delivers a speech, so that each and every one of us hears what he has to say.

He doesn't even have to say anything after his speech; at 11 AM, all the typing and clicking stops and everyone pays their respects in complete silence. It is a sombre and humbling reminder of the sacrifices that great men and women have made in the past so that we have what we have today.

Lest we forget.

Regards,
Humayun
