Someone sent me an email a year ago about Red Fridays.  Another quiet Canadian way to support our troops and their families.

Here is the Red Fridays Foundation Mission:

Our Mission:

• To promote wearing Red on Fridays that is impartial to any world events and remain non partisan on supporting the Canadian Troops.
• To offer all  organizations that support the movement to wear Red on Fridays a common website portal for their events and assistance in organizing their events.
• To respect all soldiers that have given their lives for Canada by publishing a memorial for those that have fallen recently
• To create brand recognition the RED FRIDAYS RIBBON as a nationally recognized symbol for support of our Canadian troops.
• To offer media a single source of Red Fridays activities nation wide.
• To be recognized as a Canadian source for supporting Canadian troops, Canadian Forces activities information and liaison for Canadian Citizens to show support to our troops.

Since then I have tried my best to remember to wear red on Fridays …

Lest we forget

Its been 90 years since the end of the First World War “The war to end all wars”. Canadians are still at war …

My country of brave men and women has served well and often.  I am humbled and blessed to be living in Canada and sincerely acknowledge the sacrifices that were made to make this a safe and free country to live in.

Kevin Myers, a jounalist of the Telegraph newspaper in Britain, wrote an article “The Country the World Forgot – Again” that sums up Canada’s contributions to peace.  It is a great read and makes me very proud to be Canadian.

Another mention, the famous poem “In Flanders Fields” was written by a Canadian John McCrae in 1915 at the second battle of Ypres where the First Canadian Division distinguished themselves by holding the line inspite of chlorine gas attacks.
