Eleven, Eleven, Eleven.....................

Today is the 11th day of the 11th month, of the 11th year. Remembrance Day, Veterans Day, all over the World. This is a day to reflect upon and remember the price that has been paid for our freedom. Many fine men and women have lots theirs lives to protect our freedom to live. Not all countries are as blessed as Canada, and as I have only lived in Canada, I can only truly speak for myself. But I hope everyone whether you par-take in a ceremony in your town or city or if at the 11:11 hour you just take time to show your respect and say a little prayer for all those who have been lost and for the families and friends who are left to remember them.

When we were in school Remembrance Day was always given its time and of course back in the day, there were many veteran's from WWW2 still around but as the years have gone on there are less still alive. Now, unfortunately our veterans are the men and women of Afghanistan and other war torn countries that we see on the news fighting for freedom. I think it's important that our children learn of the sacrifices made to ensure their freedom.......my son will be partaking in his own bases ceremonies this morning with a heavy heart of the friends he has lost in his short career. But he will stand proud with his company and remember Daniel, Brayden, Darren, and Yannick. Sleep well boys.........you are not forgotten.......



So take this minute out of your day and say a prayer or two for those who have passed on to a world of peace......................and may they rest in peace..................God Bless You All..........Lest We Forget...........
