I also really liked the post and link James! Here in the US we have also had out issues with mistreatment of our veterans. Thankfully most of that is behind us these days with the exception of a few crazy fanatic of one particular church.
The fact that both Canada and the US have chosen November 11 (Armistice Day of WWI) to remember our veterans is neat. I would also like to say that everyone that serves their country especially in defense of their homeland should receive our respect.
In doing research for my T-90 which was in the 2010 Victory Day parade in Moscow, I ran across a series of photos of one Russian gentleman who was marching by himself in the parade. Apparently he was the last surviving member of his WWII battle group. Here are the photos.
The photo moved me and made me realize that even though he is in a different country, he deserves the same respect that one of our own veterans should get. That this veteran has the same feelings, difficulties, experiences that our own veterans have.
My guess is that the young lady with the yellow flowers thanked him for his service and it moved him to tears. All of our "honorable" veterans the world over should be treated with dignity and respect.
Just a thought, and I would like to thank every one of you folks that have served irregardless of your country. You put your lives in a position to protect your fellow citizens.
