Lest we forget. It’s Remembrance Day in Canada today, so please take a moment to remember the sacrifices made for our freedom.
I am having a travel mug of this tea while at work, it’s tasty and very warming, it’s getting to be soo cold out..about -14 C this morning! Brr! Thank goodness for automatic car starters and hot tea. See previous notes!

So true, I’ve spent the moining going through pictures of my Great Uncle who was a Rear Gunner in the Air force. He thankfully came back to us, but never talked about his experiences or thoughts about the war. I know that there has been mixed opinions about some of the actions of the AF during the war ( ie Dresden) but I think it might have been more about the reality of his position in the war the Rear Gunner was apparently the most dangerous position in an aircrew and they did not have a good survival rate. I have pictures of his air crew one of the AC he worked on and A formal picture of his battallion in the UK. Theyn are also some of the only pictures I have of some of my g.g. uncles and aunts on my mothers fathers side. We only lost him a couple of years ago.
My great uncle was also in the air force and lived, he didn’t talk of his experience either but I know it was quite a bad time for him, he lost many commrades. We also lost him a few years ago, but his contribution lives on and I will never forget it and him. Thinking of your great uncle as well.
