On Remembrance Day, we come together to show respect and gratitude to the courageous individuals who gave their lives to protect our freedom and way of life. We also think about the sacrifices made by soldiers, veterans, and their families. We want to express our appreciation for their service.
We should always remember and value the sacrifices they made to keep us safe. On this day, we can strive for a world where we resolve issues through communication and understanding, not conflict. We want to salute those who served and express our thanks for their bravery and selflessness. We must never forget what they did, and their example should motivate us to work for peace.
On November 10 at 11:00 a.m., please join the VVS staff in a moment of silence to honor and remember the individuals who gave their lives fighting for our freedom. (as we are closed on November 11)
