Today is a day where people remember the brave men that gave their lives for our future. On the 11th Hour of the 11th day of the 11th month thousands of people throughout the UK will stop what they are doing in a 2 minutes silence, to respect those that lost their lives. It is important to remember what sacrifices were made so that we could live in peace. Thousands of innocent men lost their lives, many were even boys no older then 18.
“The 1st Battalion, Gloucestershire Regiment, were cut off and surrounded by vastly superior Chinese Communist forces during the Battle of the Imjin River from 22-25 April 1951 in the Korean War. Running short of water and ammunition, the ‘Glorious Glosters’ held their hilltop position through a full day and a night, repelling waves of Chinese attackers.”
Although they were completely out numbered, they knew they had no chance. But still, they fought the communist troops and stood there ground. These heroic actions prevented them flanking the forces of the Republic of Korea and the United Nations. This allowed the Allied forces to take up a better position and gave them more time to defend the attacks and ‘prevent a direct assault on capital Seoul’.
This is a day to remember the brave. Stop what ever you are doing for 2 minutes. They gave their lives for us, the least we can do is give two minutes of our time to reflect and remember.

By the fifth and final day of the 2006 pre-draft camp in Orlando, most of the scouts and coaches had gone home. The Utah Jazz contingent remained, hoping for one more look at a chunky power forward nobody else seemed to want. Through the first four days of camp, Paul Millsap appeared out of shape and out of place, unable to create his shot or hold his position. But on the last day, Millsap began to assert himself, demonstrating how he led the nation in rebounding two years in a row at Louisiana Tech. The Jazz staff reasoned that Millsap was not the kind of player built for pre-draft camps, which tend to showcase shooters and drivers. He needed a system.
Millsap fell to the second round, in part because of his unimpressive showing in Orlando, and the Jazz grabbed him with the 47th pick. Millsap made for a sweet footnote, another power forward from Louisiana Tech following the lead of Karl Malone. But the Jazz soon learned that Millsap had more in common with Malone than his alma mater. “They are no-nonsense guys,” – said Jazz coach Jerry Sloan, “who work all the time.” Millsap would spend hours shooting 3-pointers in practice, though he rarely attempted one in a game. Point guard Deron Williams would ask him before every season: “You going to start shooting them now?”
Heading into Tuesday night in Miami, Millsap had taken 20 three-pointers in his career and made two.
It’s not that he passed up the outside shot. He barely even stepped out to the perimeter. As the backup to Carlos Boozer, Millsap viewed himself as a designated bruiser, and last season he averaged a workmanlike 11,6 points and 6,8 rebounds. He was quietly studying the Jazz system, preparing to show the world what he was showing his teammates in practice.
