Since it's almost Remembrance Day...

[RememberanceDay]

I thought I would share this with y'all.

May 31, 2011, I was on the bus to Ottawa. Now, having been isolated, by being grounded, I had not heard of a soldier's death. Bombardier Karl Manning. was on his way to Toronto. We (my classmates, at the time) and I was unawares, but having seen the two police cars, moving slow, I realized what it was, a reparation ceremony. I alerted the teacher, who then alerted the driver, who actually pulled over, out of respect. We piled off the bus in time to salute the hearse as it drove by.

:yellow: :remembrance:

Nice story - thanks for sharing with all of us.

In return, here's a poem I received from Scotland
(Remembrance Day summed up in 22 words!)

I'll wear a little poppy,
As red as red can be,
To show that I remember
Those who fought for me.

Lest we forget.  :brit poppy:

Thank you.
