Happy early Veterans Day! I'm all nerves because I have to get up eeeeeeeaaaaaaarrrrrrlllllllyyyyyy to cover my local Veterans Day parade for the paper tomorrow. At least I don't have to interview anyone! 😊

We call it Remembrance Day in Canada.  Schools all had an assembly today and a holiday on Monday.  Poppies abound.  

God bless the families of those who have died protecting us.

In NZ we don’t do Remembrance  Day ( as I did in Britain .) We do ANZAC Day in April which commemorates all the sacrifices made by Australian and NewZealand servicemen and women in several wars.

My grandfather was killed in WW1 and my uncle in WW2. My dad was in the RoyalNavy and myMum was in the Army and recieved an MBE for her bravery during 3 years service in Italy.(She wrote a  book about her war time experiences and earlier life.)
