Thank you Bonnie, Memorial Day in the US. & the UK, has meaning for everyone as our countries have been allies in the major wars, at least since 1775. I try to keep all commemorative days marked on my calendar, UK, Canada, and US. I have relatives everywhere. Marjorie in South Carolina

Thanks, Marjorie. We are all related, in all of the efforts. Even though I live in Canada, my history is all America, back to 1638. Right now, with our new Prime Minister, who, is by the way from my home province, I hope that the War's will not take a toll of people the way they did in the past. I'm sorry sorry to hear of the deaths of all of our loved ones, and only hope that there will be a better way in the future. Our new Prime Minister is a rookie, and has no experience with anything, let alone war. He might be a nice guy, but he doesn't have a clue, with what is going on in the world. I pray and hope for the future. Bonnie

Don't you mean 1812? All else is right.
