remembering, with thanks

Sunday is Remembrance Day. I've been spending part of today getting ready for our services. Sunday night, we will be writing letters to soldiers, and I can't wait!

I find this to be a very moving time; I think it's important to remember.

So I just wanted to say ...


THANKS.


To veterans of the past, and to Canadian soldiers in various places today.


I am deeply grateful for your service, around the world, on behalf of our country.


Did you know we can send a message to our Canadian troops? When I looked today, there were over 46,000 messages, many from school kids. Wow.

By the way, I will be wearing my "God Bless Our Troops" t-shirt on Sunday - you are welcome to wear yours too!
