Remembrance Day 2014

My headsup to this day is not in support of veterans, so much as a salute to our ancestors, to MY ancestors. I do not support war, I support peace. I do not support soldiers, I support people. I do not support bigger and better armaments, I support well-nourished bodies, and minds. Lest we Forget.
