Remembrance Day.
Good morning everyone! Today is Remembrance Day here in Canada. A day to remember those men and women who fought and died that we might enjoy the freedom we have today. It began the 11th hour, the 11th day, the 11th month when World War I ended. Originally called Armistice Day, it was changed to Remembrance Day in 1931. The poppy has become a symbol of that remembrance that we wear before and up to Remembrance Day. The poppy pictured above came from a seed of a poppy from Flander’s Fields. My dad served in the Royal Canadian Air Force during World War II. We should never forget those who fought for our freedom, and those who still serve to keep our freedom.
LEST WE FORGET
Thank you so much for stopping by today. Have a wonderful Monday and God bless!
Steve and Muffin.

It’s Remembrance Day here too but those attending today’s ceremonies on Cote d’Azur will have gotten very wet.

Here it is -17 but with the wind feels like -25, so it’s a cold one for the ceremony here today. Thanks for stopping by Sheree!
