So, it is only the wee hours of the morning and i'm glad that I don't have to get up for the dawn service, as I would resemble a zombie (more so than usual).
I do want to thank all armed service personnel that protect our way of life now, sacrificed their lives in the past for my way of life now and their ongoing commitment to my country's way of life in the future.
There is a strong military connection in my family. My little brother was in Afghanistan and I thank him for his dedication and action. It wasn't easy.
We really are very lucky. Taking time each day to give thanks and show kindness is the least we can do to repay those who gave their lives, were willing to risk their lives and those who will serve in the future. Thank you.
Lest we forget.
