It had been a long time since I had attended a Remembrance Day ceremony. In my cadet days, it was part of the annual events. I attended a ceremony at work this year and I was happy I did. There was a choir, the playing of the Last Post, the laying of wreaths and heartfelt testimonies of Canadian Forces Members. It was everything I expected from the event and am happy I was in solemn place to take my two minutes of silence. With the current state of the world, I find it particularly important to pause and reflect on the past in order to remember the lessons learned and sacrifices made. I wore my poppy earrings and brooch proudly along with respectful black and velvet for mourning. I know I go on and on about expressing oneself through clothing choices but what one wears can communicate a lot without a single word. Today's look was not about dressing thematically but rather as a show of respect.
