Remembrance Day

I am not necessarily a fan of re-posting, but when I say this posted on My name is Kate and she had mentioned finding it on another site I realized this was a good opportunity to re-post.

I am always moved by Remembrance Day. When I was a high school teacher in Fort McMurray our school's drama teacher, Karen Towsley, always did an amazing job putting on a dramatic (usually music playing in the background, well, loud enough to move us - and usually Chris DeBurg's "Borderline') well the students moved through silhouettes of a story of the song - soldiers heading off to war and then only a small number returning at the end. I always cried. No surpirse to those who know me - this video also caused tears to well up. I'm such a softy!
