A big thank you to all of our serving military and veterans for your effort and commitment to our country and citizens.

A special thanks to all those who were injured or paid the ultimate sacrifice.

 

Thanks for the reminder Deane.
We own a HUGE debt of gratitude to all that have served our country.

 

@RBull .... Very well said !

 

Amen to that Deane.
All our thoughts go to those that serve or have served our Country.

My Dad was a POW captured at Dieppe. He bore those scars the rest of his life, but never complained or talked about it.

 

I believe that this is the first remembrance day that we no longer have any Canadian WW1 vets.

 

Thanks for posting that Deane and a BIG +1 to your post!

I went to our local Cenotaph this morning for a ceremony and it's something that I never miss each year. Like Ian mentioned, we owe them a HUGE amount of gratitude. I am also glad that this day has not turned into a sales holiday like it has in the US. Truly sad IMHO.

 

I didn't know that Ian. Sad.

 

My deepest appreciation and thanks to all veterans past and present.

 

Definitely appreciate everything the vets and current military personnel for everything they do on a daily basis! Sometimes we can take what we have for granted so its nice to have a reminder of who we have to thank for how our country is.

 

We had almost an hour assembly at school. You could hear a pin drop through most of it. Our population is almost 50% new immigrants and we're all thankful for those who put it all on the line for freedom.

 

Bless all the men and women who gave the ultimate sacrifice for us.

 

I went to our service at the cenotaph in Dartmouth this morning. Definitely the largest crowd I've seen. Every year attendance grows.

Remembrance Day is a stat holiday here in the Maritimes.

 

God Bless the sacrifice!

 

^ that's great to hear Deane!
