Bruce's Blog: Thank You to our Veterans
Oct 23, 2015
As you know, next month is Veterans Day (in Canada, it’s Remembrance Day, which always looks like it’s misspelled—in fact, so does “misspelled”). I like this holiday because it’s like Thanksgiving without the next-day tummy-ache: We thank the people who gave their heart and lots of times their lives to defend our country, our rights and our future.
I like it when I read how our soldiers liberated a village and sometimes adopted their stray cats. Since I’m a rescue cat myself, thanks to the kids here at Graphics and More, you can imagine how emotional I get about these stories. —OK, I’m a cat. I don’t get that emotional. But I throw an extra variation into my meowing that day (I’m up to 17 different purrs, squeaks and hisses. Three more and I’m offering my services to the Berlitz people.)
If you’re looking ahead at some sort of V-Day gift, here are some ideas:
Thanks for stopping by. You can’t tell from there, but I’m saluting you.
