Today is November 11th. That was an important date in our family as it was the birthday of my Grandmother. But of course that pales in the face of what this day stands for today...
We take the time to honor all those who have and are serving, to keep our country free and safe.
In Canada where Petcretary comes from, it is Remembrance Day, a day when we remember those who served and gave all for the nation they loved. We wear a poppy, to let others know we are thinking about the sacrifices they made.
Never ever forget. Teach our younger generations about what this really means, since most of them have NO idea what war is. And of course we hope they never have to experience it's horrors themselves.
Take a moment at 11 am to think on these things and to give thanks for the freedom we have, because of veterans; no matter if you are Canadian, American or from some other country that loves their veterans and freedoms.
