Now it is november, 13th.

I guess it is tough to separate the individual from the cause they fought for but many of them, like my grandfather and his three brothers and their father in the war previous, were just simple farmers who were called into service by their country and like his father and two of three brothers, many of them gave their lives defending it. They deserve to be remembered.
