At this time of year in the UK you will see many people with a small red flower pinned to their chest. This poppy represents and serves as a reminder to all those who gave their life in conflict since 1914. The use of a poppy to remember was inspired by the World War 1 poem ‘In Flanders Field’.

I am a big fan of history and to me it is vitally important that everyone who left us in conflict are to be remembered. No matter what level of history it is, we look back at it so we can learn and use this knowledge for the future. The debate on whether or not War is the ‘right’ thing to do has no place for remembering the fallen because they died to create a world that we live in today.

Two minutes silence is served at the 11^th hour of the 11^th day of the 11^th month each year in the UK. It is the least we can do to nod towards those who have helped shape this world we live in. Conflict will always happen wherever the human race goes, and we should never measure a man by his conflicts but by his resolutions. That is what makes us superior to every other species in this world.
