I took my step son to the War Museum on Monday.

We stopped first at the Memorial Hall - where the headstone of the Unknown Soldier is. It was very moving. Already people have begun to place poppies on it much like they do at his resting place at the Centotaph.

Sadly, I will not be in Ottawa tomorrow. I'm very upset as I believe tomorrow will be a very special day - with it being the Year of the Veteran.

This is only the 3rd National Ceremony that I have missed in 30 years...

At 10:55 tomorrow, I will get up from my desk and go outside to enjoy the late autumn air, look at the geese flying in the sky and take a moment to remember those who have served and those who have fallen.

Please take a chance to do the same.
