It's Rememberance Day he...I am remembering too. It's Rememberance Day here in Canada.... well, yesterday was. I stood at the War Memorial and shivered with the rest of the crowd as the Maple Leaf was lowered and the Last Post sounded. A very important day to me.Shammickitehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11969803866899076638noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7684531976778247960.post-89260486065917629052016-11-11T16:27:02.675-08:002016-11-11T16:27:02.675-08:00I feel the same way you do about this day. I know ...I feel the same way you do about this day. I know how people feel about Veteran's Day and Memorial Day but I have also stood at the Cenotaph on Remembrance Day and felt, and understood, the grief that still haunts the Commonwealth over the quite literal loss of almost an entire generation. When I hear the Last Post I get the same feeling that taps brings. Like many of us here I have attended far too many funerals of men who have been our brothers in arms. Some died of old age surrounded by their loved ones. Others died violently in far lands, and some in smoking holes. Each earned my respect and the military honors and a last volley. I'm glad that this country sees fit to have a day to honor veterans. I only wish that the country actually thought about what honoring veterans means. It's not about sales or going to the mall. I'd like to see a little more Remembrance Day.Davehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15482185271178889753noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7684531976778247960.post-49028400385164731422016-11-11T15:01:12.848-08:002016-11-11T15:01:12.848-08:00Well done, from another old sailor.Well done, from another old sailor.Old NFOhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16404197287935017147noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7684531976778247960.post-13880520444917495912016-11-11T13:27:36.912-08:002016-11-11T13:27:36.912-08:00Sarge, this old sailor salutes you, and joins you ...Sarge, this old sailor salutes you, and joins you in remembering ALL who have gone before.
