A Timely Video for Remembrance Day
You probably have seen this before but "Lest we forget ! "
On November 11, 1999, Terry Kelly was in a Shoppers Drug Mart store, in
Dartmouth, Nova Scotia. At 10:55 AM an announcement came over the store's
PA asking customers who would still be on the premises at 11:00 am to give
two minutes of silence in respect to the veterans who have sacrificed so
much for us. Terry was impressed with the store's leadership role in
adopting the Legion's "two minutes of silence" initiative. He felt that the
store's contribution of educating the public to the importance of
remembering was commendable.

When eleven o'clock arrived on that day, an announcement was again made
asking for the "two minutes of silence" to commence. All customers, with
the exception of a man who was accompanied by his young child, showed their
respect. Terry's anger towards the father for trying to engage the store's
clerk in conversation and for setting a bad example for his child was
later channeled into a beautiful piece of work called, "A Pittance of
Time".

Thanks Chris. A timely reminder of how much we owe to those who fought for us.
