November 11 2007

The large crowds that turned out in Ottawa yesterday are always heartening. The attached picture from the Ottawa Citizen shows some of the crowd around the tomb of the unknown soldier.The pride of the vets as they march by to the applause of the crowd always chokes me up.
It is but a pittance in time.
I think that Nov 11 should be a National if not an international holiday.

Cheers for that Chris!

I had not read the account behind “It’s a pittance of time”
A couple of years ago, we happened to be in the shopping mall and when they announced it, many people kept shopping and chatting while walking through the mall I was so livid!

Thanks for that Peter,

I think it’s important for people to see why terry wrote this song.
