On this Remembrance Day 2010, fondest memories of my grandfather Vance Webster and my dad William V.H. Webster... may you both rest in peace and may we soon find the lasting peace you fought for.
If you can, take a moment at 11:00 am to reflect on what our veterans mean to us. All the best to our veterans, active service members and their families.

I made sure that everyone in my area was dead silent for our minutes of silence. Eyeshots convey quite the message. LOL
My Mom's Dad was Irish Regiment (artillery) and my Dad's Dad was Signals (Queens York Rangers).
My buddy across the road from me just left for a tour to Afghanistan, back in May. I hope for his safety each time I leave to go to work in the morning.

^^Exactly. From 8.8 million to 10.7 soldiers.
It was a win but with what cost?
