Remembrance Day
I went to the Cenataph today to watch the Remembrance Day service. It's so sad to see the number of veterans dwindling every year soon we won't have anyone left who actually fought in those wars. This is the first year they have included Vietnam vets here - they weren't recognized as Vietnam wasn't a Canadian war. Sad that men who gave their lives for something they believed in weren't recognized by their own government. Hell they only started to recognize the Korean vets a couple of years ago. It's touching to see all those senior citizens with their medals in damn cold weather - standing tall and proud for all to see. I think it's a shame that so many of the younger people don't understand really the sacrifices that that generation made for all of us. For our freedom to live free. So to the vets out there on this day we salute you - Lest we forget.
