11.11. 11.11

I've attended so many ceremonies but this time I'm orchestrating one and I'm actually quite at a loss as to how to do it! (shameful for sure). I'm in holiday in Mexico and I asked that we can arrange a vigil of sorts. So in my mind I believe I should announce the vigil, request that everyone who wants to observe the 2 mins silence with me, then I read the Remembrance we will remember them poem then bow heads to 2 mins silence. ??

Admittedly I'm nervous and want to present this correctly as I've never presented it before to hundreds of people.

Isn't it just 11.11.11?

The eleventh hour of the eleventh day of the eleventh month?

Oh of course it's normally the Sunday but nobody arranged anything. I want to on 11.11.11. Regardless of if it's Sunday, just to arrange the vigil.

So, how'd it go OP?

Presumably it is middle of night in Mexico still... they are a few hours behind us!

Lol at my super drunk posts last night. Got the entertainment guys to announce it. Absolutely everyone got out the pool and bowed their heads. Gotta love cute Americans over hearing me ask to announce the silence for armistice day. To the Mexican guy who was well aware what day it was: "yeah, that's right, it's veterans day today, it's a thing in America and Canada we do to remember Vietnam"

true of course, but.....
