Good morning beautiful people. Red skies means its gonna be an incredible day. Markets are returning to highs. Dont know what Bitcoin is doing. The Buckeyes cant lose today. Perfect day. Fuck politics. They all lie.(both sides). Love you all.
Good morning. Today, on November 11th, Canadians wear red poppies to remember those who served and especially those who never came home.
I proudly share every year that the tradition traces back to my distant cousin, Lieutenant-Colonel John McCrae. In May 1915, during the Second Battle of Ypres, the Canadian doctor and soldier sat near a makeshift cemetery and wrote โIn Flanders Fieldsโ after watching scarlet poppies grow between the rows of wooden crosses. The poem gave voice to the dead and forever linked the poppy to their sacrifice.
A few years later, the Royal Canadian Legion adopted the poppy as our official symbol of remembrance. Every year we pin one on in the days leading up to today, not just to honour the fallen, but to support living veterans and their families.
To my American friends and family: today is also Veterans Day. Thank you to all who have served, and to the families who supported them. Your sacrifices are not forgotten on this side of the border either.
Lest we forget.
โจWe will remember them.
