Marvelous here, last year someone asked, "What is the difference between Remembrance Day and Veterans Day?"
Many of our friends south of the border celebrate Veterans Day to honor everyone who has served in their military, past and present. Here in Canada, Remembrance Day is a little different.
On November 11th, we pause to remember the men and women who served and especially those who never came home. At the 11th hour of the 11th day of the 11th month, we take a moment of silence, wear our poppies, and remember the sacrifices that gave us the freedom to chase sunbeams, enjoy treats, and occasionally knock things off tables.
So while both days honor military service, Remembrance Day has a special focus on remembrance and reflection. Lest We Forget. And yes, even a cat knows when it's time to sit quietly and remember.
