Today is Remembrance Day in Canada, a day we honour those who have served our country and those who paid the ultimate sacrifice to serve our country. Because of their sacrifice, we are free! We have the freedom to do as we in our beautiful country. We are blessed to be able to freely move about our country and travel outside our country. We are beyond blessed to live in a country of abundance that our veterans fought so hard for and continue to do so.
November in our little corner of Ontario, Canada is always dull and grey. It's rare that the sun peeks it's way through. November 11 quite often is very cold, rainy or snowing or threatening to do so. It is never is pleasant weather to be out in for things like Remembrance Day services. In perspective, our veterans had no choice whether or not they wanted to be out in the weather. They couldn't just say 'Hey sarge, I'm taking a sick day.' or 'I'm staying in because this weather will mess my hairdo.' or any number of excuses we, who live in a free country can come up with for not going to a Remembrance Day service. We are beyond blessed to have folks who serve our country proudly, unselfishly and so giving of themselves to make it a better place for all of us. There is no excuse not to attend a Remembrance Day service! Lest we forget...
