You might want to retract your second comment above...they arrived late because of a security alert -- a suspicious package (thought to be a potential bomb) was discovered near the cenotaph.

No and Ill explain why. While I certainly dont believe the story for one second I will give them the benefit of the doubt that its true. What the real adult and stateman should have done is not arrived during the moment of silence but should have waited for an opportune time. Its more poor decision making from people who arent really qualified in the first place for the offices that they hold. Here is my press release " The GG while on route for a predetermined arrival time had to divert due to a possible security threat, the last thing that the GG wanted to do was disrespect the solemn and apolitical nature of the moment and that honours all of our Veterans.. So with much regret we waited for a more respectful time to enter the ceremony" 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have "some time" on a Herc. One trip in particular stands out, about 10-12 days of flying every day, 27,000 nautical miles. It was called the Pacific Rim, and involved moving some stuff between ISL and SRIN on the map. As we were approaching home, we were actually going to fly over my house, (I lived 30mins away from the base) so we dropped lower (:-)) than 1300' , so that my wife knew it was time to start packing up the kids for the drive to come and get me.

Gadgetman Posted November 11, 2021 Share Posted November 11, 2021 I had the honour of attending the local service today with my 2nd Lieutenant daughter. She finally asked what my medals represent. My time was between major conflicts, yet I still think about how many Service funerals I attended over 18 years. Lest We Forget. 1 8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

UsedtoSkidoo Posted November 12, 2021 Share Posted November 12, 2021 To promote Remembrance, The Royal Canadian Legion erects and maintains war memorials and cenotaphs across Canada, including the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier. The memorials and cenotaphs serve as gathering places for ceremonies on Remembrance Day, and for other Remembrance milestones throughout the year. They are important symbols of our commitment to honouring and remembering the sacrifices of our Canadian Armed Forces, RCMP, peacekeepers, as well as their families and communities. Unlike monuments, which are structures that pay tribute to the achievements, heritage, or ideals of a person, group, event or time in history, war memorials and cenotaphs are built to honour and remember those killed in conflicts. War memorials help us to never forget. Tomb.....................................P.O.S was taking pictures on the Tomb of the Unkown soldier.

Really is extreme poor taste - time & place for things and having the sense to know when and where that is...... 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
