Armistice Day

It is called Veteran's Day now.

But it sure means a lot to me, especially after the events of the past five years.

Back in the late 60s and early 70s, when I was a pacifist and strongly opposed to the War in Vietnam. I despised celebrations of all things military.

I don't any more. I am grateful for the veterans who defended the way of life we enjoy.

I am in a community band that will be playing at the local ceremony in Goderich, Ontario. I will be wearing a poppy.
