Two minutes of silence

**UN. Green Label** Wed May 04, 2011 11:28 am

In the Netherlands it is today 66 years ago that the second world war ended. We memorize that every year with 2 minutes silence at 20:00 hrs (dutch time), 19:00 hrs GMT. This moment of silence is to remember all the people who died during that war, as a soldier on the battlefield, civilians, and all those who perished in concentration camps. And all the wars after and before that. They made it possible that we can live in freedom. In addition, we reflect on the injustices that people around the world are still being done and intolerance. So for anyone who want to show his or her respect, quit your game @ 20:00 hrs to remember, or shut your mouth for 2 minutes, please.
