While running this afternoon I started to think about Remembrance Day and how lucky we are. As a third or fourth generation Canadian I am privileged to live in a country without war. A few months back while speaking with a client I learned of his flight from Sir Lanka and the horrors he saw. He came to Canada at 13. I can not fathom living through these conditions and leaving your home country to start life a new somewhere else.
This great country of ours is a result of those who defended our country and continue to defend our country. Tomorrow we remember those who have served in wars past, our living veterans and those who give their lives to allow us to live in this great land of Canada.
Tomorrow I will remember those who served, our living veterans and those who gave their lives but I'm going to say a prayer for all those who are serving today. We must thank these women & men who protect us today and tomorrow to allow us to continue to live in a land without war.
Though triathlon I met one tough cookie but she always has a smile, a kind word and would encourage you to make your dreams come dream. It just so happens she is serving in the military.
Thank you Elaine !!! I can not thank you and others serving enough for what you do.
