Remembrance Day 2024

Ottawa has a big ceremony, which we watched on TV. We're aren't able to attend any ceremonies.  We've been to our fair share of them. When I taught, we would have prepared for a month for assemblies. The kids were eager to learn. We wrote poems, plays, skits, songs, learned about what went on in history. We talked to family about ancestors who served. Some of my students fled The Gulf War, the horrors and trauma in Vietnam. More recently, Canada has taken in many refugees from Ukraine, as well.

Don't listen to the Opposition Leader. Our PM Trudeau has NOT forbidden prayers at the ceremony. They continue to spread lies. 

Remembrance Day flyovers were interesting. Ottawa has them, of course. And air traffic has been busy with interesting sightings.




They left town after the event.

You remind me that I saw a big, military helicopter yesterday when I looked out the windows in FreshCo.

For some obscure reason, there was a firework show in the evening of the 11th here. Otherwise, all quiet on this western front... YAM xx

We had a flyover down here, One man flew his vintage plane right over our small town, doing a wing wiggle on the way. Josh had to work, guess having a Kiwi on the staff, he could be put to good use as fellow Canadians would want to join in the celebrations.

We also honour those who serve. And I am glad to say we also take in refugees (who make our country richer).

It looks like you had a very beautiful and somber Remembrance Day. Thank you for sharing the moments with us.
