Re: Remembrance Day Ceremony
Remembrance is year round for me. When I meet an old soldier, or a young one with PTSD, I always thank them for serving. You'd be surprised at the response. It's not just for Remembrance Day.
That they are remembered, and appreciated, makes a difference.

Re: Remembrance Day Ceremony
I am in too much pain to hobble my way down to the ceremonies, but I will be watching the televised ceremonies. Tears are already streaming down my cheeks from the Ottawa ceremonies.

Re: Remembrance Day Ceremony
My husband, kids and I will be heading out shortly to the Rutland Cenotaph. My son in particular likes to find vets and thank them - he's planning on joining up in April. It has always been a family tradition to go. In my family, my generation was the first in 4 not to have anyone serving.
I haven't failed until I quit.

Re: Remembrance Day Ceremony
The poll selections do not allow for watching the Remembrance Day ceremonies on TV, which I do every year. Which I suspect a large percentage of those answering do.

Re: Remembrance Day Ceremony
Today, on the 11th month, on the 11th day, @ the 11th hour, I was at home alone and physically unable to attend the public ceremonies that I have attended for many decades.
I took 11 minutes of my day (not just 1 minute) and gave thanks to my grandfather for giving me the freedom and life that I have today.
I stood in silence, standing at the best I could do, at attention, and thought of nothing but you and your friends that died for me.
I had all of your war memorabilia laid out upon my bed before me, and looked at them and thought of nothing but you for 11 minutes today.
Thank you Granddad , THANK YOU for your sacrifice, so that I can have what I have today. I hope that I have made you proud.
I think of you often, but never more than I do on this day. May peace be with you.
Your loving Son (now deceased) grandson (the one with the fuzzy face), and great grandson (baby in your arms).
We will remember you always.
