Happy Veterans Day

One of the best things you can do on Veterans Day is to support those on active duty.  Long-timers here will remember our dear friend Aunt Nancy, who runs a website where you can volunteer to send a gift package to the troops for the holidays:

  1. It’s also Remembrance Day here in Canada.

    Roughly 2,500-2,830 Canadian Forces personnel are currently deployed in Afghanistan as part of International Security Assistance Force (ISAF).
    A total of 133 Canadian Forces personnel have been killed since the mission began in 2002.
