Remembrance Day 2018

[jdmcm]

Remembrance Day 2018, With much deep regret it will be the first time in almost ten years I have not brought some type of vehicle out to support my local legion, Branch 240, Crescent Beach BC. Unlike the preceding years, working round the clock was not an option this year and a last minute opening to see a specialist I have been trying to get a consult with for almost a year sealed the deal.

Despite having no reasonable choice in the matter, I have to admit that I feel awful at the prospect of not only failing to bring out a vehicle to support the veterans, but not being able to attend the ceremonies in Canada at all. Sometimes I feel it is the only truly selfless thing I do each year, but with an unexpected weight loss of 20lbs in the last month (not that I can't afford to lose a few pounds!), I really need to concentrate on health at the moment. Last year we were very fortunate that the Stuarts new owner was more than happy to let us take the tank out to the ceremony for a second year in a row. Thanks to Rod for that.

With that, I wish all a safe day and hope for good weather and and a great turnout to support the troops, both past and present on Remembrance Day 2018.

Regards
John
