Just wanted to give thanks to all our Veterans who gave up so much, so that those who've followed in their path are able to live freely and have the opportunity to have what we do today.

I was a little late on my 2 minutes, but I took them when I noticed the time. Such a small thing to do to show so much respect.

What ever you want to call it!

Armistice Day, Veterens Day, or up north: Remembrance day.... it's all about remembering people who fought for freedom! We should remember in these trying times, that support (or no support - depending on how you feel about this war) Canadian and American forces are both fighting for freedom every day! You know what they say, don't hate the player, hate the game... it applies here too! Pro-war or anti-war... the vets don't pick when or where they fight, they follow their orders, as required, and should be honored no matter how people feel about the current politics or war status! These people are serving! Love this war or hate it, never hate the foot soldier!

Anyway, Happy Veterens day, or whatever else it's called in your neck of the woods... and to anyone who serves, or who has served, thank you!
