I was in the chainsaw place and they announced 2 minutes until a moment of slence....so went outside and listened to the live 21 guns from Ottawa....it was very emotional for me....my uncle was a tail gunner in a Lancaster and his birthday is today....he was my favorite uncle and the only uncle who's birthday I know by heart uncle al....rip
I went to the hill today for the ceremony. It is always poignant and the air feels heavy with the energy. I lost a few great uncles who I did not know as I was too young. My grandfathers, two uncles and one aunt as well as my father all served and were fortunate enough to survive. I am thankful for that and saddened for those who have lost family who served. Rip to your Uncle and he was loved by you and that matters.
