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.

GMMorris [2007-04-23 22:38:08 +0000 UTC]

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.

And have a good one!
Lets hope next indipendance day will be a happier one.
