The Secret Life Of A Soldier

I read this letter to my Civil War Class.

I could tell some of them were choking back the tears.

This letter was days removed of him falling to his death at the Battle of Bull Run.

Im up in London Ontario Canada visiting JDF and its Remembrance Day, their version of Veterans day. At 11:00am a moment of silence was observed all across the country with the reading of "In Flanders Fields" over the radio. I stood in a parking lot of a grocery store and took my hat off, and faced a nearby Canadian flag and reflected on the losses suffered by both our countries thru the years in the continuing struggle for freedom.I wear the poppy today pinned to my Saints hat.

Thanks to everyone. As a veteran, it means a lot to know people still care about the job we do.

Thanks again!
