Last year on Nov 11, I was up hunting with the boys. At 11 oclock we stopped in the field and just took a moment to acknowledge how many young people gave their lives so that we could be doing what we were doing, amongst other things.
The horror they endured was unimaginable. And it was done for us.

Those young men gave so much, in those days, people were willing to fight, and even give their lives for freedom. It's just too bad, that fewer and fewer people appreciate their sacrifice.

Bit of a lazy morning for me, did the chores and now sitting looking out the kitchen window drinking coffee. The sun is shining, the bird feeders are full, and a small doe just walk through the field.
My dad and uncles fought in the war, and as I sit here I’m very thankful of the freedom I have to enjoy this morning.
11 o’clock will be silent.

Important day to me. The sacrifices of our country men and women so we can have the freedoms we do are not lost but at times not directed well.
I am having a coffee too and watching Darkest Hour. I marinated some beef jerky yesterday to go on the smoker later. First crack at it!!!
Have a good one all. Will raise a glass later.

My grandfather left as a teenager to fight the Nazis.
He was part of a Halifax Bomber crew.
Gramps was a huge reason why I love fishing. He and I spent many a day ice fishing at wabamun.
To understand the toll on these people for me was clear. He always had a smile on his face to light a room. He was a happy guy… unless you mentioned the war. His face darkened and he would get angry.
He dealt with his stress by painting and fishing. He liked to garden and metal detect.
He is an example of someone who needed to protect all of us. As a result his spirit was badly damaged but not destroyed.
To him and all others like him just one word.
Thanks

Vimy ridge
Today I watched on TV a article on what Canadians accomplished at Vimy ridge and the monument there honoring them. It showed the hell those soldiers went through for our freedom and way of life. A spokesman from Canada spoke of how Canadian soldiers faced tanks, machine guns of a entrenched large army. But this spokesman ran away and hid in a remote cabin from protesting truckers. I think he had no right to speak or even be there.
