Happy Veterans Day to all our veterans, including my dad! Thank you for your service to your country. I salute you.

We also had Remembrance day here in Canada - there was graphic footage shown on the CBC about the different battles Canada took part in. Here is the famous poem penned by John McCrae:
"In Flanders Fields"

PS - That is the whole point of Remembrance Day - ":Lest We Forget." Showing a movie such as Private Ryan helps people remember the horror of war and the sacrifices others made so we can live in peace. Shame on ABC.

Well, it would have if they could have shown skating then instead.
