In canada we call it remembrance day and it is a national holiday. All schools have a ceremony on the last day of school before the holiday.I have never served but certainly appreciate the efforts of those who have.

Thanks to all that have and all that do.

When in high school and looking at one of the acadamies, my grandfather told me that "he marched from Normandy to Austria so no grandson of his would have to." Kind of put an end to that conversation.

My wife knits Socks for Soldiers. She makes beanie hats for under thier helmets and regulation wool socks. They go to Ohio for coordination and then off to all of the branches. If anyone out there knows kintters with time and desire, have them contact SFS and do what they can.

Thanks all you guys (and gals) for keeping us safe.
