Default Remembrance Day

Today we had the first outing for the TA. Janet and I took the day off to attend the Remembrance Day ceremonies in the small village of Castleton. There was quite a turnout for the size of the village and even the public school brought all the children. As usual CFB Trenton sent a small contingent of soldiers from the base. A minister from a church in Cobourg who is a veteran of the British Army, in the 60's, gave a real nice speech. There wasn't a peep out of any of those school kids. Amazing. After the service some pre teen boys came and asked about the truck and wanted their pictures taken with it. I couldn't believe how polite they were. Janet stepped right up and gave the adults a history of the truck, where it was made, where it went, where we got it and who restored it. I couldn't believe it and I sure was proud of her. Now it goes back to the barn for the looong winter.
Cheers,
Barry
