Thanks Doug.

I will always wear the RED poppy on Remembrance Day in honour of the 112516 Canadians that lost their lives since WWI in service of our country in the three previous wars Canada was involved in. Without their sacrifice and effort none of us would be living the same free lives we are blessed with today. It is fitting today that we honour our troops fighting for freedom today in Afghanistan and other parts of the world.

Some of them will, and have, sacrificed their lives for the same ideals as their forefathers did in the 20th Century. I am deeply humbled to be a Canadian and that those dedicated volunteers choose to do what they do in order that we can continue to what we do.
