The "Last Post"..........

Today I attended the "Remembrance Day" ceremony at Camp Morton, Manitoba. As the haunting sound of the bugler playing "Last Post" wafted along the beautiful shores of Lake Winnipeg, I got to thinking about the Veterans that have served us, and the Soldiers that are in "harm's way" today. As the terrible events lately overseas and at Fort Hood have shown us, the enemy is "closer" than we think, but our men and women will meet the challenge. Therefore, today, take time to remember our "Vets" and "Soldiers", as without their service, the possible alternative to our "Life and Liberty" would be unfathomable. It has also been awhile since my last "post", so I figured today would be a good day to start again......

The names of 120 Soldiers from the local area on the Camp Morton cenotaph who made the "ultimate sacrifice" during the "Great War"........

.....and present it to Captain Colin Heathcote, CD2 (Retired).


My two "youngest" show their "respect"......


Flight Sergeant Shane, and Kiena "Munchie", Taylor. In closing, the following video is a "timeless gem" praising the "boys and the girls who went over", from Terry Kelly, followed by the "Last Post". Always......"Remember"!
