I always find “Remembrance Day” a moving experience. I especially have enjoyed the last couple of years of driving out to the Edmonton Regiment Military Museum for their ceremonies. And this year was no exception. There are so many people that attend that it is difficult to find parking. That’s GOOD! But, I also can’t help thinking that people aren’t likely to forget wars as they are still so prevalent in our world today.
The military museum has so many rooms to explore and things for sale. We purchased a ‘poppy’ cookie and a coffee. The Military band serenaded people while we waited for the official program to start at 11:11 am. Our church did a nice Remembrance Day decor too.
The two minutes of silence is incredible too because there are so many families there and it really is respectfully quiet.
Meanwhile, I competed another commission the next day and have one more to go for a different customer. Here it is….
Peace, friends…
Love,
Laura
