    1. In Remembrance of All Veterans

    3. To all -- During the past few days, I have received many messages to say "Hello" to the vets at Sunnybrook -- I know I have mentioned this place many times as my husband has been there almost five years. There are two other large veterans' homes in Ontario -- one in London and one in Ottawa -- Camp Hill in Nova Scotia, plus others in every province. In addition, there are ten veterans in one nursing home near where I live -- part of my volunteer work. DVA has many beds for veterans -- in Brampton, at the hospital plus two nursing homes. I know in Nova Scotia, there are DVA beds in "your backyard". Become acquainted with them -- the stories might be interesting. However -- back to Sunnybrook -- Is it possible to visualize a painting 16 feet high by at least six feet across? One veteran worked on this for six monthswith some help from the art therapist. The scene is his remembrances of a place in Italy during WW!!. In the foreground are three tombstones representing Army, Navy AirForce, with poppies growing around them. Behind these -- looking between the bottom and the top are fields, a farm with a small horse and buildings, forest, mountains and the beautiful blue and white sky at the top. The painting is hung above the fireplace in the main veterans lobby, which in two stories high. It is an outstanding work of art! Our thoughts about Rmembrance Day are best summed up by Diana Tibert in the following:- With the 11th hour fast approaching, it is our duty to stop for two minutes to remember.
