Remembrance Day Trappings
When you're out parading today, and I know you all will be, make sure you have everything that you need, and that your accoutrements are properly affixed to your blazer.
1. Your Royal Canadian Legion membership pin.
2. Your Poppy.
3, 4. Your Medals (Commemorative Medal for the 125th Anniversary of Canadian Confederation 'Canada 125', and your Canadian Forces Decoration 'CD', respectively.)
Add to that your well-loved black beret and regimental cap badge, crisp white shirt and regimental tie and you will be all set.
Remember to take a moment to remember the fallen at 11AM. Remember those among us now who give of their time doing things like this:
And like this:
They shall not grow old,
as we who are left grow old.
Age shall not weary them,
Nor the years condemn.
And at the going down of the sun,
and in the morning,
WE WILL REMEMBER THEM.
"For the Fallen" - Lawrence Binyon, 21 Sept 1914.

Sgt. Stone has SUCH a sweet baby face, no?
Couldn't you just smother that serious look with a million kisses and squeeze him till he popped???
Awww no worries, Motherdear. I know how to make Mossy drop the gun and forget all about making war. Heh heh heh
Thanks, Ma. The pictures were taken during our 1995-96 training year. They're scanned from a coffee-table book that was done about a year in the life of our Regiment. Yours truly was featured in the essay that accompanied the winter patrol photo series.
