I know this is off topic, but I also know there are a lot of vets out 
there, so forgive me it this is out of place.  This is not from our 
country, but the message is the same.  Click on the link at the bottom.

           On November 11, 1999 Terry Kelly was in a Shoppers Drug Mart
         store in Dartmouth, Nova Scotia. At 10:55 AM an announcement
         came over the store's PA asking customers who would still be on
         the premises at 11:00 AM to give two minutes of silence in
         respect to the veterans who have sacrificed so much for us.
         Terry was impressed with the store's leadership role in adopting
         the Legion's 'two minutes of silence' initiative. He felt that
         the store's contribution of educating the public to the
         importance of remembering was commendable.
         When eleven o'clock arrived on that day, an announcement was
         again made asking for the 'two minutes of silence' to commence.
         All customers, with the exception of a man who was accompanied
         by his young child, showed their respect.
          Terry's anger towards the father for trying to engage the
         store's clerk in conversation and for setting a bad example for
         his child was later channeled into a beautiful piece of work
         called, 'A Pittance of Time'.
         In the interest of creating a greater awareness of the
         sacrifices that have been made and are still being made on our
         behalf, 'A Pittance of Time' has been adapted to the French
         language and titled 'C'est is peu de temps'.
         Click on the Title below, you won't be disappointed. It makes a
         powerful statement and a very clear message. It??s A Pittance Of
         Time - Lest We Forget
