It is the tradition here on the Tale for there to be a moment to reflect and remember on the 11th of November. If you have the time, if you could, please remember?

Given A Moment
By TeraS
Remember.
It takes but a moment
It always does
A moment to think
A moment to pause
A moment considered
What their moment was
What it was then
What came to pass
A moment of pain
A moment of sorrow
The future lost in that
The possibilities no more
Another moment
Another different fate
To take the next step
To continue on forward
One moment leads here
To the fields of poppies
To the white stones
To voices stilled
One moment leads there
To the ones suffering
To the pain of carrying on
To voices cracked
One moment awaits
To the future to be
To the ones that remember
To voices promised
A moment asked of
A moment in payment
Not always done
It takes but a moment
Remember.
Please, on this day, take a moment to thank those that gave you the gift you have today.

When a thankful nation, looking back, gives time to celebrate
those who win our admiration through their service to the state;
when self-giving is the measure of the greatness of the great,
may the living God be praised!
Fred Pratt Green, 1976
so many to remember and honor . . .
