Remember....
On November the 11th many countries honor those who served and those whoe died in War. I vividly recall from my early childhood the importance of remembering those who fought and those who died for our freedom. I learned the famous poem by John McCrea.
Red poppies were sold everywhere and we would proudly wear them to school pinned on our lapel.
I see Canada has come up with a very popular version for schools this year. The Sticker Poppy.
I hope we will all pause and remember all those in the past and those right now in the present who are fighting for freedom.
I have a special person in my family who I consider a Hero for his service in the second World War. Thank You to my Uncle Edward Greer Begg of the Argyle and Sutherland Highlanders for his valiant service in the second World War. How he was able to survive the Japanese Concentration Camp is a Miracle to me.
