It does come at a cost, I live along the highway of heroes route and have been on the road during the time more than one convoy has and seen the flag lined bridges....my grandfather served, and visited Holland with other vets to commemorate the Canadians freeing Holland, and spoke about the war for the first time I ever heard him, in noting that it is still very real in Holland, with everyone just not the elderly. A week ago my poppy, which I wear all November, sparked up a conversation in San Francisco with a girl who had lived in Australia and saw it there.....I could go on, anyhow thanks!Nicolehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15270602645064133938noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-90309743669681175.post-33447434628337289252011-12-03T10:18:40.978-05:002011-12-03T10:18:40.978-05:00Hi Cara, Thank you for doing this post.

I miss my dad in law so much on this weekend of remembrance. He passed away over a year ago; he was a veteran of WWII. He was my father from when I married until the day he died. Thank you for a moving post - we must never forget.Snoodleshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06098194837683371037noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-90309743669681175.post-13218726362401834642011-11-12T16:57:09.219-05:002011-11-12T16:57:09.219-05:00This is a beautiful piece about a serious subject My husband&#39;s father served in WWII and two of my great uncles. I have a friend who married a military man and another who teachs children whose parents are still serving in the military. Thank you for honoring them and their contributions to the safety and peace that exists in our land.<br />Warmest regards,<br />Annaquiltmomhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01976120921532056369noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-90309743669681175.post-92220591945029395982011-11-11T21:15:01.031-05:002011-11-11T21:15:01.031-05:00Great post Cara!
