I was wondering if anyone else remembered to observe a minute of silence on the
11th hour of the 11th day of the 11th month to remember Armistice Day and those who sacrificed all to achieve it.-- -- -- -- -- "We sleep safe in our beds because rough men stand ready in the night to visit violence on those who would do us harm." George Orwell

Yes, at work they make an announcement, a moment of silence and play taps on the PA.
Yeah but its not just those who fought in that war that need remembering- I add my sleeping friends from the Falklands and Gulf war to that list as well.

Two minutes at the office I was in.
I did. I'm involved with a Sea Cadet unit and was at their premises yesterday gutting a few old portacabins to make way for new buildings. When
11am arrived, myself and my fellow workers stopped work and observed the silence - it was nice to see the majority of people doing the same.Jimi
Yes' of course. I also remembered my lost buddies from the Vietnam War, Grenada, the Gulf War, and Somalia as well. My initial post was merely indicating the original concept of the remembrance; for those from "the war to end all wars."
Cheers.....Bill

Two of us 'reminded' the boss - the siren went off at 11, then again at
11.01. As far as I cvould see, all the guys stopped.RobG
