Rememberance Day

[Lightningmike]

Please take the time for a moment of silence today folks. I remember my grandpa who fought in WW2 .

This is a good friend of one of my closest friends. He is no longer with us but died for us. I only wish I would have had the opportunity to meet him.

We will remember them for their heroic efforts and unwavering dedication.

Here is the last post from the Menin Gate in Ypres Belgium I attended, it is done everyday at 8 pm

I’m kind of frustrated today that business seems to be carrying on as normal for many. Is this not supposed to be a day of reflection.

I am guilty of working today too. We have 7 of us on our crew working away from home. Had we been at home we would not be working. Our whole crew did shut down for 10 minutes at 11 for a few moments of reflection.

I understand it needs to be done.we just need to remember. That’s great that you took a time out.

Was hunting today, my family stopped gutting a moose to sit and pay our respects at 11. Sick these boys get a moment of silence and pride gets a season. My family wears our poppies all year round.

For the last 3 years I have been attending the Remembrance Day Ceremonies at Cold Lake, prior to that I went to the ceremonies in Bonnyville, if I was not at Work. I f I was at work I would stop @ 10:30 and turn on the Radio and listen for the “ Last Post “ Today like years before, I still shed a tear at that haunting bugle sound.
Lest we forget. God bless you all our fallen’ heroes.
