LEST WE FORGET 11.11.11

IT WAS 1972 I FOLLOW IN MY FATHERS FOOT STEPS AND SWORE MY ALLEGIANCE TO CANADA AS I BECAME A MEMBER OF THE CANADIAN ARMED FORCES. NOW BEFORE THE REGULAR FORCES I WAS A CADET ATTENDING THE REMEMBRANCE DAY SERVICES AS PART OF THE COLOR GUARD. … SO TOMORROW MEANS ONE DAY A YEAR THAT EVERYONE REMEMBERS THOSE WHO GAVE THEIR LIFE SO THAT WE MAY REMAIN FREE TO LIVE OUR LIVES AS WE WISH.

NOVEMBER 11TH, AT THE 11TH HOUR PLEASE STAND IN SILENCE FOR TWO MINUTES. PUT DOWN YOUR CELL PHONES AND TABLETS AND GAMES STAND UP , CLOSE YOUR EYES AND MOUTH IN SILENCE FOR EVERY MAN WOMAN AND CHILD WHO PAID THE ULTIMATE SACRIFICE. TO THOSE VETERANS WHO WALK AMONG US ACKNOWLEDGE THEM AND SAY THANK YOU FOR YOUR SERVICE.

                        LEST WE FORGET

THANK YOU TO EVERY VETERAN ! You have my Heart.

To some of us Remembering happens daily as it is part of us. We who walked the path.

Thank you for your service. God Bless.

I, too, did the same.
I was in the Air Cadets from the ages of 12 - 17.
At the young age of 17, with my parent's consent (needed it as I was under 18), I joined the Canadian Armed Forces. I actively served for 23+ years, and am proud to say that I did.
During that time, there were many good & bad times, but each one a memory I’ll never forget (although there are a few I wish I could).
I do not regret the decision I made.

To ALL my brothers & sisters who have served/are serving, I thank you for your service.

May we never forget.
