Tuesday is Remembrance Day here in Canada.I hope you've been wearing your poppy.
It is a day to commemorate the sacrifices of members of the armed forces and of civilians in times of war, specifically since the First World War. It is observed on 11 November to recall the end of World War I on that date in 1918.
While any relatives of mine who served have passed away I do have a family friend who is nearly 90 years old and served in WWII. He doesn't speak about the war often but from time to time he will speak of some memories of that time.
Of course there have been many conflicts involving Canadians and the continue to fight and die for their country today in Afghanistan and other parts of the world.
Take a moment to remember them at the 11th hour of the 11th day of the 11th month.
Here is a video by Terry Kelly that you have most likely watched before but it's always worth watching again.
