As November 11 is approaching a number of mail lists to which I normally send Post 1901 Census messages are experiencing problems and are offline. It is hoped that these problems will soon be resolved so that this message might be viewed in a timely manner. The following URL was sent to me by someone who normally only sends me jokes. I accessed the website by the URL provided and read the opening page. As I viewed the video and listened to the song I found tears coming to my eyes. We hope soon to have access to the 1911 Census of Canada. Many enumerated at that time went to fight in World War I. Many did not return to be enumerated in the following Census. They died so that the rest of us could live a better life -- so that we would not have to live under a regime that might otherwise have been forced upon us. Many others have fought and died in other wars so that we might enjoy the life we have today. November 11 is Remembrance Day. I urge all to access the website below. Watch the video and listen to the song. Let us not forget those who have gone before us, or those who still fight for the freedom we enjoy today. http://www.army.gc.ca/chief_land_staff/remembrance/English/Home.asp Lest we forget. Gordon A.

We must also remember POWs and others who suffered in both World War I and World War II -- and thank the many unknown people who worked at home in the war effort. WE MUST NOT FORGET!!! Muriel M.
