VIDEO: Remembrance Day and why it's still relevant.
It was cold and raining slightly, so what better time for a journalism teacher to send his delicate students out into the harsh arms of Farnham's wandering denizens?
After many, many rejections, people looking at us like we were wandering lunatics filming old people for kicks, we eventually scrounged together enough footage to present you with this.
Young people were confused, old people were incensed at the very notion of someone not remembering Remembrance Day, and some believed it should be rebranded and made more current.
I think the most important thing to remember on Remembrance Day is that while it was a long time ago that those men fought and died in far away lands to protect what little remained of once-great Britain, the fact remains that they fought for it. Just because that particular war has faded into the annals of history does not mean that the war effort should be forgotten in lieue of this new, phony American clusterf**k. Those soldiers fought and died because they were fighting fascism - the closest thing to comic book evil humanity gets. They aren't fighting and dying to secure oil contracts for the United States.
