I served with a Canadian unit as part of an exchange program. The Canadians do a better job with Remembrance Day (Nov 11) than we do with Veterans Day as a whole.

What a terrible war. My grandfather was a Canadian NCO who fought at Flanders. He died in the late 1930s due to the damage done to his respiratory system as result of the gas attacks he endured. He was in his 40s when he passed, far too young. I served in the US military and like him, I was an NCO. I have often wondered if he would have found my service honorable. Hopefully I will find out when I finally get to meet him on the other side. Until then, RIP Gramps. I'll be along directly and we can exchange war stories, though I get the feeling yours will be infinitely more interesting. 💕
