This graphic I have placed as my banner I designed for Remembrance Day last year and is significant for it shows the grave stone belonging to my husband's uncle who died in World War 2 overseas and the Canadian cemetery of other soldiers lost. Many souls were lost , of all nationalities, we all suffered.
We shall always Remember them......... November 11th / 2010

Remembrance Day Ceremonies in North Gower and Merrickville Ontario Canada
Our town Memorial
Escorted by OPP The Merrickville Remembrance Day Parade got started under a cool and sunny November sky
An original of ww2 (eldest) veteran standing to the left of this image wearing dark sunglasses. I wouldn't have known it until they mentioned him in the laying of the wreaths. He stood straight as an arrow accompanied by a lovely smile. Very nice fellow as I'm sure they all are.
These Little Crosses were made by the children from the Merrickville school.
They reminded me of a miniature version of the cemetery in Flanders.
p.s.
After knee surgery last Spring I'm afraid with the cold damp weather my arthritis isn't very cooperative and had one heck of a time trying to get up from my lying position I had taken to photograph these crosses.If only my pants could talk....I now have two Brownie knees...haha!
