cross of sacriface

For as long as I can remember Nov 11 was a day of Remembrance, from schools in Germany during the Cold War, to my involvement with the military it’;s always been a gloomy kind of day. Even in the desert of Iraq it was a cloudy grey day.

This time it was a little different I didn’t have to be in uniform, as certain place and with a certain crowd. I took some pics and watched school children look at vets and the guns with big eyes. I got to see them jump out of their skins with the guns went off, and even see the crowd in a different lite, When your a soldier and do a parade it’s one direction you look and thats front unless your praying.

This year i took the extra step and went to the local Militia monument for the 21stt Battalion as well. Afterwards off to Wolfe Island to see the wind turbines these babies are huge and I mean huge.

Yesterday after running on the machine for 30km I had to go see the surgeon where he said all was fine for the time being with my hand and i should see great improvement for the next couple of months.

So now the winter starts to set in and everyone starts planning for some warm fun and winter shows. I have been invited to two diving shows so far and will be promoting Ontario diving. I also got a new text book and will start experimenting more in the photography world as well as joining the OD fitness challenge again this year.

Today was Remembrance Day
