5321...Remembrance Day: A Final Thought

Ottawa comic Jim Robinson shares these impressive words on Facebook

I once attended an (accidental) event in Europe where Canadian and German soldiers from the same battle met and socialized. They had a great time reminicing on the battle experience. Most of our "enemy" soldiers were not fanatics, but soldiers just like ours, sent to do a horrible job. I think the time has come to invite the "enemy" soldiers to our nov. 11 events, before its too late. There were not only Germans on the other side, but ordinary Austrian, Hungrian, Italian, Japanese and others. Our politicians have to learn something about the horror of war, before its too late.

It truly should be about love not hate.
