How to Observe Memorial Day
2008-05-26 22:55:00 Each year, Canadians observe a national day of remembrance on November 11. Fracas has many American friends… good, kindhearted and wonderful souls who have helped me over the years, understand that as a Canadian, the typical smug, self-righteous attitude many Canadians hold towards our American neighbours is just wrong. So today, I choose to support and honour my ...

Holocaust Remembrance Day
2008-05-02 18:43:00 When I lived in South Beach, Florida I stood before this sculpture crying my eyes out. In case you can't understand what the photo represents, it depicts the millions of people who had suffered and/or lost their lives during hitler's despicable nazi regime.It is difficult for me to sit here and type these words to you, as not only can't I understand how this took place while so many participated, but I myself have lost some family in this "final solution."Others of my family have escaped during this atrocious time and have been living in Israel, where they've been happy for the most part except for the fear of suicide bombings, of course. Hopefully very shortly there will be peace in the Middle East.Astonishing as it seems, there are some who still deny that the Holocaust ever happened in this world. Perhaps these links will convince them of something that should NEVER BE FORGOTTEN nor ever BE REPEATED AGAIN. Note: Some of the stories and images presented within the following li...

Remembrance Day, 2007
2007-11-11 23:00:00 So Remembrance Day, 2007, it always seems to roll around so quickly - and how quickly we all seem to forget the debt we owe those who have fought and died for us to live comfortable and peaceful lives at home in the UK. I don't want to get into the legality of the current conflicts in Iraq, nor the issue of us being in Afghanistan, what matters on Remembrance Day is that we all remember what we owe to those who have sacrificed there lives for us - whether we asked them to or not - and for the sacrifice which is still going on today by the members of our armed forces across the world. This used to be a difficult time for me, coming from a mixed English and Irish upbringing - (especially when I was younger and trying to understand which 'side' I was on) - as I've got older this has got a lot easier. On Remembrance Day, more than any other time, I'm not English and I'm not Irish - I'm both. It's often not remembered that in 1916, the same year as the Easter Rising, wh...

NHL players among those we honor Remembrance Day
2007-11-10 08:17:00 Even for the most ardent of hockey fans, there are moments where the game is an afterthought. This Sunday is one of those times. On November 11, we once again honor and offer our sincere thanks to those who have stood on the front lines to battle for our freedom, those who have made the ultimate sacrifice.You'll see them this Remembrance Day, many of their faces weathered and beaten from the passage of time. No matter what conflict they survived, they will all be standing straight, fighting back tears on a day that is theirs alone.Hockey players have not been exempt from the trials of war. Like your grandfather or your uncle, your brother or your son, NHL superstars have stood the post. Some never made it home. George Richardson and Allan Davidson were killed fighting for Canada in the First World War. Three decades later, Red Garrett and Joe Turner lost their lives in World War II. All were in the midst of their careers.The legendary Hobey Baker, a standout amateur hockey pl...

Remembrance Day
2006-11-11 09:12:00 In Flanders Fields By: Lieutenant Colonel John McCrae, MD (1872-1918) Canadian ArmyIN FLANDERS FIELDS the poppies blow Between the crosses row on row, That mark our place; and in the sky The larks, still bravely singing, fly Scarce heard amid the guns below.We are the Dead. Short days ago We lived, felt dawn, saw sunset glow, Loved and were loved, and now we lie In Flanders fields.Take up our quarrel with the foe: To you from failing hands we throw The torch; be yours to hold it high. If ye break faith with us who die We shall not sleep, though poppies grow In Flanders fields. Meanwhile in Afghanistan...
