Well, Rememberance Day is upon us once again. What will it be like this year, for many years since the end of the great (World War I or, The Great War), a greatful and thankful Nation has Paused to give thanks and to remember those brave Men and Women who paid the ultimate and Supreme Price in order that those of us who came after would be able to live in peace and freedom. I would personally like to offer my heartfelt thank you to all of Our Brave men and Women in Uniform both in past wars and conflicts and present ones for their love of country and willingness to fight for my freedom and the freedom of all Canadians.
the next time you come across a Veteran or you meet him on the street Shake his or, her hand and say to them Thank you for loving yur country to the point we can all live in freedom.
And please remember On the 11th hour of the 11th day of the 11th Month pause and remember with respect and Thank God for those who have not returned home alive and for those who lived through some of the most terrible conflicts most of us will never see or know. offer one Minute of Silence.
A Moment of Silence
In Flanders Fields
By: Lieutenant Colonel John Mcrae MD
(1872--1918)Canadian Army
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.
