I remember this experience every Remembrance Day. It was 11 years ago and I still think about it.
During my moments of silence today, I'm remembering both my grandfathers' fine service to this country in WWII. I'm remembering my great-aunt Alice, who lost her brother in the war and carried his last letter to her in her purse for the rest of her life. I'm giving thanks to those men and women who fought and all those who still serve at home and abroad.
