November 11 @ 11am
This is a traditional time for many people to take time and remember people who have fought in battles over the years to ensure our freedom. We may not agree with many of these wars but the fact that their are many men and women prepared to go to the front line to defend us is something we should never forget.
Many people have paid the supreme price in this cause and died whilst in service. This should never be forgotten and even though for many November 11 is just another tradition I think it is important that people are reminded of what has been done for them.
In many ways this service was very similar to what we would find at home in Northern Ireland. A parade of colours followed by a Pipe band and then many local groups. Now here are possibly the main differences. The local priest said a few words and prayed and then we had a 3 gun salute. just a couple of things which may not have gone down to well at home!
Never Forget!

Glad you got out and saw it Canadian style! Great reminder. And by the way, Nate and I laughed at the pic of the moon and the title "Not a Contraceptive."
