As Remembrance Day approaches, let us take the time to honour and remember the fathers, grandfathers, great grandfathers and uncles that have made the ultimate sacrifice so that WE are able to live as comfortably as we do today. And to the women that served as field nurses etc, and their sacrifice. And to the ones that survived the war, but have since passed on.

In Flanders Fields

In Flanders Fields the poppies blow
Between the crosses, row on row,
That mark our place; and in the sky
The larks, still bravely singing, fly
Scarce heard amid the guns below.

We are the Dead. Short days ago
We lived, felt dawn, saw sunset glow,
Loved, and were loved, and now we lie
In Flanders fields.

Take up our quarrel with the foe:
To you from failing hands we throw
The torch, be yours to hold it high.
If ye break faith with us who die
We shall not sleep, though poppies grow
In Flanders fields

Please go here and add your name to the list

Thank you
 
And our troops today who continue to make the ultimate sacrifice.
 
To all those who have and are serving: Thank You
 
If you enjoy your freedom....thank a VET. My father was a WW2 vet...my son has been in the armed forces for many yrs. I have noticed this year that the youngens are doing the poppy duty. It really hit home that many of our veterans have passed on and that our knowledge of the World Wars will soon only be available in text. Our boys and gals in Afghanistan are true heroes and are truely honoured. Lets keep them all in mind and heart every day...not just one day a year.
Lest We Forget
 
Being a weekend this year, hopefully there will be a good turnout for the various ceremonies.
 
I plan to do what I've done each Nov 11th since my Dad passed away.

I go to his grave take a bottle and a couple of glasses , give thanks and share a toast with him. I miss him.
