    Michelle I think it is so wonderful that you have remained with this forum after what you have been through. I am always so happy to see you post and sometimes I wonder how you have stayed so strong.

    In Canada we have Remembrance Day and this morning at 11 there will be a service for fallen soldiers at the city cenotaph. I will think of Angel at that time and all the brave soldiers who have given their lives.

    Best Wishes to all

    I feel blessed to still have Michelle here, and Angel still around, of course with wings now!

    I am truly thankful for the vets who gave their lives to set us free, and hope everyone has a great Veterans Day, get a poppy, and wear it with pride :)

    Hugsss!

    Canada Remembers...
    Thanks for starting this "thread of remembrance" Michelle...

    Today is a holiday in Canada. We take this time to remember all who have served, and who continue to serve; all who have died, and continue to die. We pray for their peace, and for ours.

    My small token of remembrance is here... http://rob-pollock.blogspot.com/
    There is a link to a beautiful musical blessing on the departed souls (Give Rest) at the end of the post.

    Lest we forget... Rob; in Vancouver

    "Give rest unto your servants with your saints O God,
    Give rest, Give rest.
    Where there is neither pain nor sorrow
    Neither sighing but life everlasting."

    Veterans Day
    Michelle,
    I'm so glad you posted this. Angel and all of our service people are to be remembered and thanked. **** is a retired Marine and I must say the people he served with have been amazing during our cancer journey. **** flew with the Black Sheep squadron back in the '80's. The squadron is now deployed to Afganistan. They found out about ****'s cancer and yesterday an amazing care package arrived, from Afganistan. They sent Black Sheep T-shirts, patches, pins and a ball cap. There was also an American flag that had been flown in one of their airplanes during a mission. The certificate with it said the flight had been flown in honor of ****. He was so moved by these Marines.
    God Bless those who choose to serve our country in the Armed Forces.

    Aloha,
    Kathleen

    PS - Since I teach kindergarten I was talking to my students about Veterans Day on Monday. All of them thought it was Veterinarian Day (the animal doc). I explained that no, it was Veterans Day and we read some books about Moms and Dads who serve in the Military. We then made thank you cards and I delivered the cards to the Marine Corp Base yesterday. I hope those hard working marines like the cards. :)

    Did I read that correctly?
    Were you in the service? Which one and what did you do? I was in the Navy for 24 years. Great photo, by the way.

    Interesting
    I worked in CIC on carriers and flew o in those mini-AWACS, which were called "Fudds" in those days, or screwtops./Good for you. Being a former Zoomie, I suppose your golf game improved a lot in the USAF. Sorry, a running joke I have with an F16 instructor and a SOG pilot. We are always at it hammer and tong about Navy vs. the Flying Golf Corps.
