November
Dear All If harvest is a time for being thankful, November is the month for remembering. The month starts with the twin celebrations of All Saints (All Hallows) and All Souls, where we remember those we have loved and who are no longer with us. A few days later, on Remembrance Sunday, we remember those who died in the two world wars in particular. Why do we remember? What is so important about setting aside special times for remembering? First, we remember for their sake. We don't want to forget them . Maybe we even made them a specific promise, "I'll never forget you." That is certainly the promise that we as a nation made those who made the ultimate sacrifice on our behalf during the wars. 'We will remember them." That is also the reason why we use special materials on their memorials - not for them the usual materials which are intended to fade with time; these memorials should last as long as our civilisation does. A special gift from
