Shantell Powell<p>I see so many posts about Remembrance Day being about honouring veterans, but this is the smallest part of what this holiday is about for me. I see Remembrance Day as the day when we remember the horror of war and pledge to seek peaceful solutions. It is a time when we recognize the corruption and xenophobia which inspire war, and when we remember the many humans and animals whose lives have been destroyed through no fault of their own. I honour the peacekeepers who put themselves in danger to protect others. <a href="https://c.im/tags/RemembranceDay" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>RemembranceDay</span></a> <a href="https://c.im/tags/peaceKeeping" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>peaceKeeping</span></a></p>
