Remembrance Day Toronto?

Well,I guess this is modern Canada.My idea to present flags at the Remembrance Concert this evening has be culled by the current powers-that-be.Gave the bad news to Les Monday last night over at his home.He said to me and I quote,"I knew that would happen".Apparently I got an e-mail from of all people,my ex pipe major stating my presentation of the flags had not been cleared with higher-ups and also that my playing drum with the current members of the pipes and drums may upset them.I know why ! They 're lousy,.Anyway,I'm a little disappointed with people who are in charge.But I'll be there tonight together with another ex drummer to stare these bastards down.Oh well.Guess I have to present the flags in a personal service

Disappointed

Ah ... what a huge disappointment Garry ... I'm sorry to hear this plan got derailed ... you'd think they'd be glad to include that for the Vets ... for after all, aren't honouring the Vets with respect and symbols of appreciation THAT THE VETS APPRECIATE what this is all about?

If I know you though, I'm sure you'll find a way to present these flags properly, (perhaps before or after the official ceremonies while they are there "? That a possibility ... in spite of the lack of clearance???
