[first female Canadian soldier
killed in combat]
They shall grow not old, as we that are left grow old
Age shall not weary them, nor the years condemn.
At the going down of the sun and in the morning
We will remember them.
--From "For the Fallen" by Laurence Binyon
LEST WE FORGET
All my respect for people who serve or have served.
ReplyDeleteVeterans do have a hard time re-adjusting to civilian life, though...
XOXO
I didn’t know her but I think of her often. She touched my heart somehow. Lest we forget.
ReplyDeletea touching post dear Debra !
ReplyDeleteshe will surly be remembered for her sacrifice .
Happy remembrance day my friend
hugs and blessings!
In her honor.
ReplyDeleteIt's Veterans Day here though I've always thought Remembrance Day is the better choice of a name.
ReplyDeleteRemembering far too many young people gone to soon.
ReplyDeleteWe owe a debt to those who fought for us and protected us and stood up for us.
ReplyDeleteHello Debra, It's important to honor veterans as a group, but also vitally important to remember and memorialize them singly--their individual accomplishments and sacrifices gave us our present lives..

A beautiful tribute ~
ReplyDeleteI agree with Parnassus.
ReplyDeleteLest we forget...
We received our first snowfall of the year last night. With everything covered in a blanket of white, the Victoria Park Cenotaph covered in red poppies this morning has an added poignancy somehow... Lest We Forget.
ReplyDeleteWe need to take better care of the ones that came back with physical and mental problems.
ReplyDeleteHappy Remembrance day
ReplyDeleteSo sad. Thank you Captain Goodard.
ReplyDeleteCoffee is on and stay safe
If she died in Afghanistan in the first decade of the 21st century, then it was in a war largely fought on the United States behalf (as a response to 9/11.) Maybe my country should have an Allies Day for the Canadians and others who sometimes perish in our wars.

A wonderful tribute. We must never forget or take our protectors for granted. Bless them all.
ReplyDeleteThank you for the tribute.
ReplyDeleteRemembrance day. Veterans day.
ReplyDeleteWe owe them so much.
I missed you at Rain's this week, but like you, I chose to spend the day honoring our veterans who have given SO much so we on this side of the pond can be free. A wonderful homage to remember someone who has fallen. Thoughtful of you to memorialize her, too.
ReplyDelete♥♥♥ A true heroine.
ReplyDeleteIt is the duty of the living to make meaningful the sacrifices of the dead.
ReplyDeleteNice tribute. Respect for their sacrifices
ReplyDeleteLest we forget.
ReplyDeleteMuch respect to those who serve
ReplyDeleteI think as a military brat I have a greater appreciation of what soldiers sacrificed...we saw it every day.
