Yes, it is very important that we remember and be thankful for what they did and gave of themselves for us.
My son and I again attended the local Remembrance Day ceremony on Sunday with our Scout Troop. I think it's important that we ensure our younger generations also continue the tradition to respect, show thanks and understand the great sacrifice that was given for their freedom.
Something else that I've started to do, when traveling through airports. If I see some troops in a restaurant in transit, I'll try and pick up their tab, just to say thanks.
