Remembrance Day
Tomorrow at 11:00, please take a few moments to stop, reflect, and give thanks to those that fought and died in foreign lands so we could enjoy the freedoms we have in Canada.
This year of course we have a stark reminder of what war really means, as we have men and women in harms way in Afghanistan, and men and women who have recently died there, doing a job they believe in. You may argue the right and wrong of the government decision for the mission, but we must not forget, that these soldiers do the job that our government and therefore, ”we the people” ask of them. Those Canadians currently serving and those that have lost their lives in this conflict, and indeed all of the world conflicts deserve our thanks and gratitude.
As our vets age, and we lose more and more of them, it becomes increasingly more important to pass along the message to future generations.
I for one will never, ever, forget.
