To all of you Veterans and First Responders. THANK YOU!

You have made it possible for us to live the wonderful life we have.

To express our opinions in a manner of regard for opposites.

To allow us to travel and live where we want.

To have the rights we do and maintain them.

To be the greatest nation in the world.

Plus other things I can't think of...

Thank you.

senile idiot, blabbered again:

Remembrance Day. a poppy flower represents a fallen battlefield
soldier -- the poppy flower grew there on a grave.

Originated in WW II and is now the Friday before Memorial Day.

Nov 11 in Canada


The various " days " have been confused, over the years.
Nov. 11 11th hour 11th day 11th Month
is from World War 1
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Armistice_Day

In Canada, November 11 is marked, by all ,
as Remembrance Day
solemnly dedicated to those who have served and died.
... the famous poem, by the good Doctor from Guelph -
is a mainstay - as it should be.
As is the Last Post lone bugle .. simple is good.

I was disappointed to see the recent USA recital
by Gary Sinise exclude the final verse and fail to mention
the heroic poet-doctor. oh well - that's TV :-(

I'll leave it to the late-to-the-party but most welcome
and powerful ally Americans to explain their war holidays.
