always  good  to remember....

I tend to lump thankfulness and happiness into one  group.

I don't know that wishing a happy day is particularly  appropriate for 
this holiday.  For those who served, and especially  those who served in 
combat situations, wishing a happy day is, in my  opinion, totally 
inappropriate.

I just finished watching on TV the  National Act of Remembrance from 
Ottawa, Canada's official Remembrance Day  ceremony, and this American is 
emotionally spent ... and I was never in  the service.  Canada's 
designation for this day is "Remembrance Day,"  and it is, I feel, a more 
fitting title to the day.  It is a time to  remember the sacrifices made 
by everyone who served and especially those  who made the ultimate 
sacrifice.  It is a time for difficult memories  for both those who 
served and for those who waited at home.  On this  day each year I am 
thankful to be within off-air TV range of Canada to be  able to view 
their ceremony, because nothing like it exists on American  television. 
Yes, I know ceremonies take place here, but almost none of  them get any 
kind of publicity save for a but a few brief moments on the  evening 
news, and maybe one photo from one ceremony in tomorrow's  newspaper.

Today is a day for reflecting and giving thanks to those who  served, and 
appreciating the freedoms we enjoy now because of the  sacrifices others 
have made.

Thank you to all of the veterans  reading this.  I know this day is 
difficult for  some.

73,

Doug, KA2WFT
