11/11/11 We will remember them



God bless all those who died for our freedom, and all those who continue to fight against evil and injustice throughout the world. I attended the ceremonies at the Legion today, so following is a photo essay of the tribute paid by our town. God bless our troops, and the children portrayed here who care enough to join Cadets and Scouts. I am particularly impressed with the Sentries at the cenotaph, who stood silent and unmoving for over half an hour in the pouring rain.

The Mounties resplendent in their Red Serge
The following two groups represent our hope for the Future.


Bless his heart!
Then there was the Salute from the local pilots- the "Fly-By" at the end of the two minutes of silence.
