Please read through the posts as our members remember and share YOUR memories of any of the wars that our countries have taken part in.  Do you have family members who fought?  Your father?  Your mother?  Your Brother or Sister?    Cousin or a close friend?

We must never forget to support our troops--both past, present and future.

I hope that you all click on the video above.


On November 11, 1999 Terry Kelly was in a Shoppers Drug Mart store in Dartmouth, Nova Scotia. At 10:55 AM an announcement came over the store's PA asking customers who would still be on the premises at 11:00 AM to give two minutes of silence in respect to the veterans who have sacrificed so much for us.

Terry was impressed with the store's leadership role in adopting the Legion's "two minutes of silence" initiative. He felt that the store's contribution of educating the public to the importance of remembering was commendable.

When eleven o'clock arrived on that day, an announcement was again made asking for the "two minutes of silence" to commence. All customers, with the exception of a man who was accompanied by his young child, showed their respect.

Terry's anger towards the father for trying to engage the store's clerk in conversation and for setting a bad example for his child was later channeled into a beautiful piece of work called, "A Pittance of Time". Terry later recorded "A Pittance of Time" and included it on his full-length music CD, "The Power of the Dream".

Let's see lots of photos of poppies, poppy fields and anything to remind us that we should never forget them.

This is our family pet, Lilo who goes out for a walk with me. She is also dressed for Remembrance Day.

[attachimg=2]It was indeed a blessing that my schedule had me traveling by the Black Hills National Cemetery on Veteran's Day.  It was a beautiful day to shoot these photos and remember those who have given so much.
