I am not a Scot, not even of Scot descent. Quite the opposite, in fact, being that I'm French-Canadian... However, the sound of the pipes and drums always gets me right in the heart...

[@deborahgers3674]

I think everyone should visit the Menin Gate and watch that ceremony, beginning to end. It is one of the most moving experiences you will ever have. Most nights you will only hear the Last Post played,but to stand beneath that massive monument with all of those names on it with the knowledge that they ran out of space and had to add a wall for the missing at Tyne Cot cemetery. My grandfather was an American WWI vet, a machine gunner and knowing what the war did to those that lived through it, one can only imagine what was going through the minds of those who perished.

[@martintheiss4038]

As Americans we can only dream of how the Commonwealth suffered all those years before we engaged them. It was only an accedent of history that Washington joined the rebels out of fear Virginia would get burned for the sins of Lexington and Concord.

People today cannot grasp the level of carnage that happened ay Ypres. They fought over that town for almost the entire duration of the war, likely leaving it the most shelled place in all of human history. Unexploded artillery shells are still found daily by the dozens, over a hundred years after the war ended. Cemeteries cover the region. The battles fought there caused over HALF A MILLION casualties and turned the entire region into a Moonscape. Ypres today is a new creation, as it was wiped off the map by 1918. Lest we forget.

Such a simple but so powerful a service with it's meaning. To the thousands of men who gave their lives in the service of their country - the respect you receive on the 100th anniversary of the end of WWI is deeply felt and pierces the hearts of all who observed this simple but beautiful service. We are filled with gratitude for the sacrifice you gave with the giving of your lives with in the service of your country. My president did not attend a service to remember the 100.000 Americans who gave their lives because he was afraid he would have been mocked because he elected to run from serving his country when he was called to serve America (Vietnam) (and he would have been mocked as he has been mocked for not attending). The people of American remember all you young men who gave your lives in the War to end Wars (those then living hoped and prayed). This simple little service brought a tear to my eyes and caused me to think of the pain your families must have felt when they received the word that you had passed on. You gave your lives in the service of America - unfortunately not many remember you these days (especially our current leader) but on the eleventh month, the eleventh day, the eleventh hour we remember you and thank you for your service and we are sorry that you gave your life to rest in this far off place far from your home. We the people of America remember you even if your President doesn't.
