Sunday Stills

Fittingly this week's theme is patriotism, which is defined as:  devoted love, support, and defense of one's country; national loyalty.
To start with, I'd like to salute our soldiers who are making their way home from Afghanistan; well done, troops!
My husband belongs to a commemorative association, for the North West Mounted Police. These were the forerunners of our modern day Royal Canadian Mounted Police, aka RCMP, aka Mounties. The uniform is similar to the RCMP red serge uniform, and is historically accurate. They do public appearances at parades, rodeos, and historical functions. It is a tribute to the men who helped form this great country. So without further ado, here is our patriotic tribute: 

O Canada, our home and native land,

true patriot love in all thy sons command.

 With glowing hearts, we see thee rise,

The true North strong and free!

From far and wide, O Canada, 

We stand on guard for thee!

God keep our land, glorious and free; 

O Canada, we stand on guard for thee!

O Canada, we stand on guard for thee!

Thanks, Beamer and Ted!
