Rememberance Day

I enjoyed yesterday.  I was able to attend the Rememberance Day ceremony in Onoway.  This day always reminds me of the people I never got to meet in my life.  I lost 4 Great Uncles in WW II and had one uncle shot the morning of the invasion on Juno beach June 6, 1944 (luckily this Uncle survived).  These are people I will never know except from the stories that were spoken to me as a young child.

I got to thinking about the other people from my community who were in the same situation, where family members were lost and they were never able to meet these family members.

I really don't have a point here except the tragedy of the state of the world where we are not able to build these relationships because of war and conflict.
