May 4th is the national day of Remembrance. Initially a remembrance of those killed in WWII. At 19:58 hours 2 minutes of silence is observed. The thought being that those who died, gave up their freedom to give freedom to the living. The least the living can do is give two minutes of silent remembrance to them. Today, The Remembrance includes all who lost their lives at any time in war/conflict situations. The bells of churches, cathedrals and towers ring out prior to the observance. Then all falls silent. No cars, no movement on the streets, Still. This silence is followed by a national remembrance ceremony on the Dam Square in the center of Amsterdam. Royalty, Ministers, Military Officers, the Mayor of Amsterdam, attend and while standing at attention wreaths are mounted on frames in remembrance of specific groups. In addition, overhead TV screens broadcast the remembrances of others. The format is a youth speaking for an elder: a granddaughter telling the remembrance of a grandmother etc. While this thoughtful remembrance is taking place, war continues in various places around the world. When will we remember?
