Well, its been 4 days now since someone said it and it's still bothering me. On Friday on the construction site I work, we where told that we would be taking Monday and Tuesday off. Tuesday being of course remembrance Day, One of the only true ceremonies with purpose. And from one of the older workers came a statement that damn near blew my mind. "Why can't we just have Monday off and work Tuesday instead, so we don't waste anymore days off." Now I've never been one to go to many of the remembrance day marches but every year I support the poppy drives and take time from my day to remember what our forefathers have done for us that allows us to live the way we do. And again I have been living in Alberta long enough to get used to many, and I mean many, of there Redneck tendencies, But this one seemed to bother me the most.
In hindsight I guess this is just another thing Our forefathers have given us, the ability to speak our minds without fear of punishment. Even though they should be sometimes.
But, As you go about your day today, take some time to remember the fallen, the precious men and woman that gave the lives to help the wars, For if it wasn't for them, we may not be here today.
