Written on the battlefield, by Canadian John McCrae:
There is an excellent post at Home on the Range about Remembrance day, please visit her.I give thanks to all those who paid the ultimate sacrifice in defending not only our country, but other countries as well.

I`d like to second that.
me too, very important to remember our vets and what they did for us.
Thanks so much, I'm glad you liked my post.
I only put the post physically together last night but I have been working it over in my head for quite awhile.
for my family who fought in wars, grandpa jess, rest in peace. for mom who was a cook at the air force in vancouver, pray for me. for my dad who is suffering the effects of louie body dementia, and was in the army/airforce, i pray for you. for all the canafian armed forces world wide serving, and not, i pray for you. for all those who have passed, i pray for you. eternal rest grant unto them who have passed O Lord, and let perpetual light shine upon them. and may they all rest in peace. Amen. praise be to our Lord Jesus Christ who lives and reigns forever and ever. Amen.

Dear Shirley, so glad you told all of us about "Home on the Range" and as an American "Thank You Canada" for always standing by us, even when it wasn't your fight.
Agreed, we can never thank our armed forces enough, Canadian and American.
So many sacrifices.
Thank you for the beautiful post, Shirley. And thank you to all of our veterans for their service and sacrifice.
