Over the weekend we took time to reflect on our past and pay tribute to the men and women who gallantly defended our freedom and help shape the world as I/we know it today. In Canada this solemn and special day is known as Remembrance Day and south of the boarder it’s known as Veterans Day.
I’d like to take time today to say thanks to the men and women of the Caribbean, especially my birth country of Trinidad and Tobago who stood side by side with other countries that made up the allied forces. Little is ever said about these brave men and women and even in their homeland little is known about their exploits and contributions.
Only recently have I become aware of their heroics and the special parts they all played in helping to win WWII.
Thanks!
