Remembrance Day is a holiday in Western Canada. Most businesses are closed giving us time to think about how we have handled conflict in the past and the sacrifices families have made. Whatever our thoughts or position on war let’s focus on gratitude and appreciation for what we have and what people have done for us.
Here are some Remembrance Day thoughts I saw posted on Twitter today.
Our freedom was purchased with the lives of the men & women of the military. Will we waste it or pass it on? Your life shows your decision.—

I forgot – thank you to all the soldiers currently doing their duty. Get home safe. #RemembranceDay—

I know so many people who have served and are still serving–as with other things like this, remembering should be every day, not just one.
