Remembrance Day 2009

The sun shone brightly as a large gathering attended the Windsor Remembrance Day ceremonies.

Special thanks to the US Army soldiers who regularly attend our Remembrance Day ceremonies in honour of the Canadian men who freely volunteered to fight with the American forces during the Vietnam conflict. I personally knew a few of those men who were from the Windsor area and I can attest some never returned from that conflict. In return I extend my heartfelt gratitude to these American veterans for braving the controversy of Canada's non-involvement in that war and by standing proudly for our Canadian dead. Thank you, gentlemen! Your consideration is fully acknowledged and respected by those who knew the said such fallen. I encourage all viewers to visit the Vietnam War Monument in the Sculpture Gardens just east of the Ambassador Bridge here in Windsor.

Post Script: If for whatever reason you like any of these currently available videos then I would highly suggest you find a means to 'rip' them before they are lost forever as in some cases this may very well happen. You have my permission to do so ('rip' them) as long as they are copied whole and intact. I attach this post script for good reason. Under new Canadian Privacy Laws, Canadians now have stronger rights to privacy than ever before and in some situations this may make it very difficult for Canadian photo/video journalistic expressionism to be undertaken. These laws are quite understandable and fully acceptable by me. Fortunately, however, the majority of Canadians in a public setting still do not take offense by the sincere and credible efforts of such photo/video journalistic and artistic expressionists to conduct their work in a public place with the general public being the main model of such creative, artistic and/or newsworthy composition. I thank all of those in the past and any digitally photo/video recorded citizens of the future for their whole-hearted and courageous expression of freedom. You amaze me! You keep Canada warm.

Sincerely and of good intent,

Alan Michael Elliott - Windsor, Ontario, Canada
