Nothing much here, but the Golden Coral should have a veterans meal put on by the local DAV (disabled American Veterans)

Canadian Forces here.

Remembering lost friends and other generations of soldiers who gave their all to give us today.

A Veteran-whether active duty, retired or Reserve- is someone who at one point in their life, wrote a blank cheque made payable to their country for an amount of "up to and including my life"

I salute anyone who thinks anough of their country to put their life on the line. Any branch, and even other countries. So a salute to our northern brothers (yes includes sisters also).

Yes, a special thanks to all who serve(d) is in order.

Thanks, all, one veteran to another, for your service.

Hey Patterson. Happy Veterans' Day.

We call it Rememberance Day up here my thoughts to those who have gone and are still here.

I was pleased today when a visiting American scientist told us he was very impressed with how earnest our observance of Remembrance Day (Veteran's Day) is.

My father never met his; he lies in foreign soil.
