First Reading: Veterans

PJ-Saurus: wants to add a moment of silence (no more than 30 seconds) at the beginning of each meeting. Motivating since veterans made our lives possible, as they are today. His g-father is a WWII vet.

Question-time!

Amy: only in November? would that be ok, instead? in the spirit? s'ok, mr saurus?

PJ: nope! not enough, my dear.

Faris: include causalties of war as well?

PJ: quite!

Cheeve: two sets of ppl?

PJ: vets and causalties

Becky: I also have family members who are veterans. Are you just proving a point? Why are you deciding to honour veterans in this way? 

PJ: I have a place at the BOA, so it is a platform available to me.

Amending the motion to only November? 

Dick: we experience our freedom everyday. So, once a year isn t good enough.

Becky: very carefully trying to be against the motion without being offensive. something about volunteering in a nursing home or something.

Fancie: need to support veterans. let's move on.

Amendment vote: passes.

Seamus: amendment - add: 'in all wars' - wants to ensure that all involved in war are represented

Motion passes. but only in November. and 'respect[ing] the lives lost and the affected civilians of all wars.'

(Seamus is the remember-est! blogger's note: it is not about who has the biggest claim on the war, mr wolfe. this kind of condescension is really not appropriate in this debate.)
