A New Perspective On Remembrance Day

I'm a few months late in posting this, but here's my brother (who is a former reservist and current RCMP member) serving as one of the sentries at the National Remembrance Day ceremony in Ottawa.

And here's an article about Remembrance Day that just came out that I'm quoted in.

For some reason this was the year when something clicked in me and Remembrance day stopped being just about the people that served in the World Wars and Korea and started to be about the people serving now. Maybe it was the fact that three guys who were kids in my cabin when I was a camp counselor more than a decade ago had just gotten back (unscathed) from Afghanistan.
