Random Remembrance Day Speech

Every year we commemorate this special day, but what is it really? Is a just a way to tell veterans that we care or is it something more? To me, this day is the most remarkable day in all of the year. Not only do we remember the soldiers that risked their lives to bring us peace and freedom, but we also take this time to be more appreciative of what we have already. The values that we have right now would not be here if the soldiers back then didn't fight for them. Freedom, family, and choice of government would not exist if those brave men didn't fall on the muddy field, dirty trenches, and at the bottom of huge cliffs. This is what we should really be grateful for, not the things that are bought by money, but rather the things we needed to buy by lives. We payed a great price for what we have today and now is the time to commemorate that.
