Excellent!

Very moving! There many ways to serve our country. The men and women who have served and those serving in the Canadian Forces deserve such recognition. Jean Miso's song certainly pays tribute to our veterans. Well done ! BW - Husky 2013

Please, 25 minutes before Remembrance Day 2016 and only 49 people (myself included) have been keenly stirred enough to leave a like out of 3, 783 views. Thank you for the zero tolerance on dislikes...much graciously acknowledged on behalf of all service people, veterans, family members of both plus the artist behind this magnificent tribute. I will be sharing in hopes the hearts of my peer will recognize the profound message behind this. Out of respect for subject matter itself and for those who sacrifice their lives for us to remain a free Country, please take a moment to like and/or comment on the fine work this artist has produced. Thank you. Perhaps I have been harsh..after all this was posted 9 days ago...I'd LOVE TO SEE a higher number one year from now.

Thank you very much for your kind words, it is through viewership of the video that I am able to raise money for the Last Post Fund. Your help by leaving this comment has certainly helped, the video is now just over 4,000 views and 50 likes! Fantastic!

Jean Miso You are so very welcome and thank you once again for your focused determination of ensuring that there is a committed dedication in maintaining a high profile respect for Remembrance Day which I find admirable and humbling. I as a retired baby boomer have survived (among with the remaining 4 siblings of 7), a life of great dysfunction within our family unit and horrendous suffering at the hands of our Father owing to his unraveled psyche post WW2 (he had won a Military Cross) and his choice of numbing agent, the daily oral multi doses of huge portions of self administered medicinal purposed high toxicity straight alcohol coursing into his bloodstream, further leading him deeper into his Hell which he never came out of and in fact shattered the family with his "forensic psychiatric diagnosed temporary insanity action" end resulting with a life sentence incarceration and the sobering experience of him watching two of his children, myself included at age 14 and youngest sibling, my brother aged 13 being Crown Witnesses against him. Even then at that age, and much younger I innately recognized his behaviour was linked to his military service. Back then I always saluted the fly pasts from home after watching televised programs yearly as I still continue to do and I am proud to admit I am obnoxiously vocal with my distaste for the mass marketing of "Remembrance Day Sales" (of which I never partake in nor will I shop at all that day anywhere), and opportunity for this Statutory Holiday to be seen by many, as merely a designated sleep in day far past the 11th hour. Hiiiiiiiissssss!!! I find it abhorrently disrespectful and shed another tear for those who sacrificed themselves and also to find it in me somehow to forgive those who do not comprehend how grave their error is, to not recognize the importance of honoring our fallen, our wounded and our ever growing amount of veterans from past decades as Canada strives to continue to fight for other's freedom and keep our land free as well, just like generations before us have nobly done. People sometimes need a gentle user friendly message such as yours to learn how to value the gift of life and to also say a prayer for those who were not able to come back from War or for those who did, but had left their mind and soul on the battlefields. Thank you for your extraordinarily amazing compassion to push this message of critical importance as far and wide and so very beautifully as you so have done.

beautiful

So enjoyed hearing you speak this a.m. at Rama Central School. As a former member of our Canadian Forces I respect your commitment to our war veterans.

[@jeanmiso5615]

I had a fantastic morning at Rama and thank you Eileen for your service to Canada

Lest we forget 🌺

[@trevm02]

This brings back bad memories , or the start of it does

[@jeanmiso5615]

Sorry to bring upset to you… thank you for listening to the whole song Trevor… the tempo the song is set to is tied to the pace the soldiers advanced under the barrage of artillery guns…. My goal was to have listeners connect to what was experienced at Vimy
