The time has come, the walrus said, to speak of many things, the most important of which is the impending arrival of November 11!
Call it Remembrance Day, as I do. Call it what you will, but Remember to honor those in uniform, past, present, and sadly, probably future, who unstintingly give whatever it takes to keep us and our society safe.
It has been 100 years since Canadian, John McCrae, in the middle of The War to End All Wars, composed the poem, In Flanders Fields.
Wear a poppy. Honor the living. Mourn the fallen. Remember all you have, and who keeps it safe.
Hear, hear. Doesn’t matter what you call it, it’s the intention that matters.
