Well, funnily, Remembrance Day to me.... I get requests from schools nine months of the year. But in November, of course, Remembrance week is always special, and several times I'm asked to go to an assembly in the morning. I'm not a Catholic, but I was asked to open a Catholic assembly one morning. It's really not just for the kids. It's the idea of.... It's not disrespect, but people just go about their business, to shopping malls and everything else, when maybe just two minutes of silence, just a pittance of time to show some respect....
I wish I could show you the notes and the poetry from these young people. I just published a wonderful book of poetry that has been given to me over the past 20 years. I've already given away 200 of them. I've read it many times and I still find it very difficult to read it and not shed a little tear with what these young people got from the message I brought to them. I guess I'm thinking about that special two minutes of silence to show respect and honour for those who didn't come home. That's really, I guess, the long story.
