I ran to the Bowmanville Cenotaph this morning to make the Remembrance service. I was delayed in getting there but I didn't want to miss this important annual memorial. The rain held off for most of the ceremonies and there was a big crowd. It probably helped that it was Saturday rather than a work and school day. And of course our troops are in the midst of an intense conflict in Afghanistan. Thousands of them are there, doing their best to move toward peace, even if they are not peacekeepers in this situation.
Today isn't a day to question why they are there. This is a day to say "thank you."
God keep our military personnel and support staff wherever they are serving.

Today is definately a day to say thank you to a vet. After thanking a couple of them today, one older gentleman started to cry and said he really appreciated the sentiment.
Please do, thank a vet! They deserve it.
