Remembrance Day - the very words conjure up up all kinds of memories don't they? Bittersweet ? Yes, but wonderful too ! As the son of a war bride there are lots of things that will go through my mind to-day. Memories of my father and how proud he was to parade on this day in his best (only ?) suit with his service medals and stand at attention for so long at the cenotaph. Our high school was named "Heroes Memorial" and the annual services always took place on the front lawn. My mother being a member of the ladies auxilliary would then go over to the Legion for the rest of the day to help prpeare the banquet for the evening meal. I would go over after school and help set the tables and thereby earn my self a free supper and be able to watch the entertainment and go home before the dance started. Most of them are all gone now but not my memories. Stay true to those who gave so much and never forget the blessings you have due to their sacrifices. May your!
day be a delightful one and may God bless you and yours.
