My father (WWII) served 6 years overseas with the RCNVR (volunteer). My Mom served in the dockyard with the Navy. My father in law was Navy as well..he sailed corvettes..brave man. Sunk a sub off of Africa. Grand father was gassed (mustard) in France in WWI. One of my buddies did 2 tours of Vietnam and he was Canadian.

I would like to thank all the men and women in the Canadian Forces as well as our Allied for their service for us.

"In Flanders Fields" is a war poem in the form of a rondeau, written during the First World War by Canadian physician and Lieutenant Colonel John McCrae. He was inspired to write it on May 3, 1915, after presiding over the funeral of friend and fellow soldier Alexis Helmer, who died in the Second Battle of Ypres. According to legend, fellow soldiers retrieved the poem after McCrae, initially unsatisfied with his work, discarded it. "In Flanders Fields" was first published on December 8 of that year in the London-based magazine Punch."

We also have a local guy who sang a song about Remembrance day in these days.. It is worth a listen...
