November 11th, Veteran's Day or Remembrance Day, what does it mean to you? 

To many it brings back horrific memories, loss of limbs and most tragic, the loss of friends and loved ones, some right in front of their eyes.  For us it means the right to enjoy freedom, every single day.

So the question has to be, how will YOU honour those that gave up so much for their country and for us?

In Canada the postal system is unveiling the newest commemorative stamp.  It will display a close up of the National War Memorial in Ottawa (a portion of it has two soldiers looking up) with vibrant red poppies.  Although the Canada Post has not officially released the stamp; in Orillia, Ontario, Canada the postal members convinced Canada Post to give a "satellite launch" and release it there early.

Two men were guests of honour at the unveiling, the city's second oldest veteran, Arthur Angus and Tim Aleman who was seriously injured by an improvised explosive devise in Afganistan.  Tim told Arthur " The tanks they used in the early wars, I wouldn't want to be in them".

There will be all kinds of Remembrance Day ceremonies today.  Please remember our Veterans on this day and give thanks for what they risked and what they gave up.

Give them a moment of silence and respect at 11:00 a.m. today, explain to the young ones just why they have a day off school and most importantly enjoy your day because  Some Gave All for it.

LEST WE FORGET
