For us, Remembrance Day is just that; remember those who signed the contract to defend Canada and payed the ultimate sacrifice. We also remember those who were broken both physically and mentally, for they paid a terrible price. Lest we forget. Signed , an old soldier
The wind in the wires made a tattle-tale soundAnd a wave broke over the railingAnd every man knew, as the captain did tooT’was the witch of November come stealin’The dawn came late and the breakfast had to waitWhen the gales of November came slashin’When afternoon came it was freezin’ rainIn the face of a hurricane west wind
