Remembrance Day, Veteran's Day, Colleen's Birthday It is interesting how each passing year the balance of these three labels changes.
Even though this is Colleen's 60th this is probably the least celebrated year for quite some time. I can remember the 'younger' years when we would have so many people we might have TWO Angel food birthday cakes and about 20 cone cakes! Today Colleen has received several phone calls. THANKS TO EACH OF YOU.
My awareness of the meaning behind today; remembering our lost soldiers and honouring those still with us increases with each year. Maybe THAT has to with being over 50 or 55..........and the perspective that comes with it. Maybe it is also with recent and visible wars that remind us that it is our VERY young men and women that are standing up for us and our freedoms. And I think the media is doing a better job of reminding us as well (of course they are also selling air time). I think we are now past the less public and hushed Korean and Vietnam wars even though there is still controversy. Bravery and service in the face of destruction and evil or peace deserves our homage.
I know I'll miss some but THANK YOU...Dad, Gene, Bill, Fred, Eddie, Dean, Larry H, and Larry N, David M, David W, Darcy and Kristina .
