Photo Du Jour – November 11, 2005 – Thank you…

Today November 11th, is a special day. Remembrance Day in Canada and Veteran’s Day in the USA. Thank a veteran. Especially those who fought back in the days when Wars were really about freedom.

Thanks to my Great Grandfather, WWI vet.

Thanks to my late Grandfather, and the No. 4 Platoon, 2nd Co. of the Rifle Brigade, British Army, North Africa, photo from Aug. 1943.

Thanks to my Grandfather, who served in the Canadian Navy, on the HMCS Chilliwack in the North Atlantic.

Thanks to every Veteran.
