Description
Two minutes of Silence.Two minutes of reverence.
Two minutes of Remembering.
Two minutes of Respect.
Once a year, two minutes of standing at attention to remember those that are no longer, those that have gave their lives for others to live.
Once a year, a whole nation stops in it's tracks, stands at attention and remembers.
Once a year, Two minutes of Respect and Remembering.
Once a year, a way of saying Thank you for protecting me.

On Israel's Memorial Day there is a siren of 1 minute the night before signaling the beginning of the memorial day. On Memorial day itself, at 11:00, there is a two minute siren as well.
Shot taken: Mercaz Ha-Carmel, Haifa, Israel, 23 April, 2007, 11:00

Very touching picture.
I just got back from our Yom HaZikaron service, and this image really resonates.
May we know much happiness and celebration in the days to come.

Excellent picture - I can definitely feel the stillness to the scene. The accompanying text explains the setting quite well too.

Wonderful.
The red stop sign (the man) seems very fitting.
And on another note - I discovered how tiring it can be to hold a solute for two minutes
This is the first year I am an officer during a siren, so I've never had to solute before.
