We went to our community Remembrance Day today.  The girls were able to help others to their seats, place a wreath and before we left an active service member came over and told us that she used to be in Guides and answered the girls' questions.

All in all, a day full of remembrances.

Remembrance Day 2015

The 11th in Canada is Remembrance Day - where we honour our past, present and future soldiers.

Just outside of our town in October they raised 116 Canadian Flags along the highway - one flag for every 1000 Canadian soldiers killed in service since 1900.  It's amazing to think that we've lost 116,000 people.

The girls went to the local Remembrance Day ceremony.  If you've never taken your unit to a Remembrance Day ceremony, I suggest it!
