This video of the Highway of Heroes makes me remember of my fallen brothers and sisters in arms.

Remembrance Day is a special occasion and I will be spending it remembering the sacrifices of the many men and women who came before me. On this solemn day, I will give thanks for the freedom and liberties I enjoy everyday!

I am grateful!
