lest we forget


Today, I am a little bit sad.
It is Remembrance Day - and we remember our Canadian soldiers who have fought in previous wars/conflicts. But today we also remember those we have just lost. I have linked to a map of canadians lost in afghanistan

I don't really know quite what I feel about our involvement in the Afghan conflict but I do know that the loss of human life is tragic and leaves behind many loved ones who reel in disbelief that their children are gone.

I am awfully happy that Oldest could never serve, Youngest couldn't either.
It's Middle I worry about - not that he'd join up, but that they'd call for him. It would destroy him.

I always try to shake hands with veterans and just say thank you...
