Always Remember

Today is Remembrance Day in some parts of the world, Veterans Day in others, and the reason for any days like today is our fault, our conflicts, our disagreements, our doing. War is unthinkable yet daily and countless millions of lives have been torn apart by it since we began to walk this great earth. We started it, we can stop it.

One of the most powerful human emotions is hope so let's hold on to that a bit tighter today as we remember all who gave the ultimate sacrifice for conflicts that were avoidable and senseless. Today is about them and perhaps there will be some day when the need for such conflict is eradicated.

We can always hope.

Never Forget

Let us always remember the brave women and men who gave their lives and to those who continue to fight for freedom.

Let's Remember

We spend a lot of time discussing business and fretting over the economy. Let's take a moment to thank the brave women and men who fight and have fought for our freedom.

We remember so we never forget

Freedoms Realized

Today is Remembrance Day and it is given due respect around the world with presentations, ceremonies and personal sharing of those who made the ultimate sacrifice for us to enjoy our lives today.

Sadly, conflict continues and probably always will but the only way for us to get our minds around it all is to cherish each other's ideas and innovation in business, medicine, science, technology and relationships.

Our lives are busy with workflow and corporate climbing, deadlines and responsibilities, making ends meet and realizing our dreams.

The explosion of the social web has given us access to each other in a way no one could have predicted. There are almost two billion of us connecting online.

They gave us our freedom.

When we talk about the freedoms, we often refer to the ability to realize dreams and have a safe place to live, clean water and our ability to create our own path.

We must remember everyone who put their lives in harm's way every day.

So today, I thought I’d share a video from TED curator Chris Anderson who discusses the rise of the web which is driving a phenomenon he calls Crowd Accelerated Innovation. This is about much more than technology.

This is about our visceral desire to connect, share and advance our knowledge. It is a freedom we need to cherish and nurture.

Remember | Never Forget

Remember those who have fought with their most precious gift of all.

Remember fathers and mothers, sisters and brothers, cousins and friends who did not come back and have the time to cherish the freedoms we enjoy.

Remember that our problems pale in comparison.

Remember women and men who continue to defend our right to say and do what we want.

Remember those who helped shape our ideals and freedom.

Remember souls who give us hope and perspective
to what is really important.

Remember to say...

Thank You
