REMEMBRANCE DAY 2020

Please do remember to pay homage to all the courageous women and men who selflessly served and, in some cases made the Ultimate Sacrifice so we may be blessed with the freedoms and privileges we now have.  If you personally know someone who currently serves or did so previously in the armed forces, I encourage you to reach out and extend your heartfelt thanks to them for their brave service.  During this extraordinary year, it is also very appropriate to express our gratitude to healthcare professionals, first responders and frontline workers who have all rose to the occasion to keep us safe and healthy throughout this worldwide Pandemic. 

To all the exceptional women and men who have ever served during conflict and peace, thank you for all you have done for us in this country. 

Mike
