I cannot let this day pass without remembering my sister, Sharon, who was lost to us on June 16, 2012.  Today would have marked her 69th birthday.

    Definitely .. thanks to our Vets. However, you also reminded us to be thankful for our Canadian friends who were there watching our backs. Thanks for the reminder.

    Great post, Donna. Simple, straightforward and direct.

    Canadians always appreciate the sacrifices the American military have to make in today's times and we are well aware of our own soldiers sacrifices as well.
