This one has been harder for me than in the past. The Remembrance Day of year's past- all I had to worry about was polishing my boots and making sure I burned all loose threads off of my uniform. This year, it's a bit different. Now it's not just remembering an impersonal loss through my great-grandparents. Now it's remembering guys I trained with and wishing that I'd been over there with them when they got caught in the flak.
As a former soldier, I thank all of you who are spending this day (or yesterday) in remembrance. You're what makes serving a worthy sacrifice.
