It's now officially Remembrance day in Nova Scotia.

To my family it's a day you make a point of treating right.

Both of my Grandfathers were in the Services. One was RCAF (airforce), and the other was Navy. Both were too young to have served during WW2, but both spent their entire careers in various peacekeeping missions, and for the one in the airforce, on missions he wasn't allowed to tell my grandmother about.
My father-in-law also served in the Navy, which thankfully he did, because my husband and I would never have met if his dad hadn't been stationed here in jr. high and high school.
