A very emotional time of year it is.

And for those of us who have lived through those years and heard the song performed so many times at the concerts, and enjoy singing the songs of Gordon Lightfoot, we could never forget that the song was written to ensure that the memory of the loss of those twenty nine sailors would never be forgotten.

And to coincide with that tragic event, tomorrow here in Ottawa an annual ceremony will be held on Parliament Hill to commemorate the loss of those brave ones who have fallen before us.
It'd called "Remembrance Day" and we will bearing the "red poppy" on our lapel which signifies "lest we forget."

This will be a first for me to attend this special ceremony and luckily we can walk to the Parliament Buildings from where we live.

Yes, a very emotional time for many.
