Armistace Day

[Ross J]

Down here it has been the 11th of the 11th and we celebrate the cessation of WW1 on the 11th hour. Our extended family lost a few folk in the big one and we always take time out to stop and think of those who made this world a better place for us all.<br />If there's people out there who also gave ancestors in WW1 then I salute your family for their sacrifice and am proud to be alive today to help hold dear our freedom.<br />Ross

Re: Armistace Day

We have remembrance day here in Canada.<br />I am at work right now, You would think our<br />government could show a little more respect for <br />these veterans, buy declaring today a statutory<br />holiday. I think of any day in the year, this day<br />deserves to be a stat holiday. But as usual the<br />the rule makers are out of touch with reality.<br /><br />To all vets that visit this board. Thank you for<br />your service.

So now I'm told Nov 11 is a statutory Holiday.<br />So how come I am at work ? <br />Something is not right here.
