Remembrance Day . . .
It comes down to a simple question of good manners . . .
From our earliest days we have been taught that, when someone gives you something, or does something for you, the proper response is to offer your thanks in return.
Tomorrow is Remembrance Day. It is a day where we are asked to remember the sacrifices and service of our men and women in uniform. The visible manifestations of that are two-fold. The first and most obvious is, of course the poppy, while the second is the two minutes of silence at the 11th hour, of the 11th day, of the 11th month.
I hope that you have donated to the Legion's poppy campaign this year. I hope you have worn your poppy proudly, so that the Veterans in our midst can see this token of thanks. And I hope you will join me in observing the two minutes of silence at 11:00 a.m. tomorrow morning.
Lest we forget.
