Swords into ploughshares' by Derbyshire artist .

And they shall beat their 
swords into plowshares, and their spears into pruning 
hooks; nation shall not lift up 
sword against nation, neither shall they learn war 
anymore. (Isaiah 2:4)

don't forget the fight and sacrifices made by those to make sure we do not have to fight. And if we did, that we knew that it was gonna be on the right side of justice and for all things good and right. They gave much and their efforts were not in vain.

”When the War is over and the sword at last we sheathe,
I'm going to keep a jelly-fish and listen to it breathe.
When the War is over and we've finished up the show,
I'm going to plant a lemon-pip and listen to it grow." ~A.A.Milne

I felt quite emotional during the Remembrance Day silence this morning. Standing still with your own thoughts for two minutes allows time to contemplate the enormity of sacrifices made, and still being made to keep us safe, and everyone we have lost.
