Thank You

The 11th hour of the 11th month has just passed. I have been to the burial grounds of several major Canadian battles in Europe, and poured the vin rouge into the soil as a libation for the deceased. Vimy, Dieppe, Juno Beach, and Cesena have I seen. And still, to this day, I cannot be a part of a Remembrance Day ceremony without shedding a tear for the sacrifice made by our honoured dead. It was heartening to see that more than half of the town of Cobalt was in attendance at the Armistice Day ceremony at the town's Cenotaph. As the trumpet played the Last Post, I teared up. We do Remember.
To those lost generations that gave up everything they had to give for peace, Thank You.
