This Remembrance Day take a moment to remember what has been given for our freedom in Canada and for all we have in our lives. Thanks to Lynn Fraser for sharing this video with me. Make sure you grab the box of tissues before you hit play.

Last night I had the honour of singing our National Anthem before visitors and war veterans at the Royal Canadian Legion in Barrhaven. The event was the last public appearance and signing of "Notes From Home", a 12-inch thick, hand-crafted book containing signature, drawing and photos from civilians and soldiers, as well as messages of hope and thanks to soldiers in Afghanistan.
