Taking a moment to reflect and be grateful on this Remembrance Day 11-11-11.
I was fortunate as a teenager to be able to travel to Europe with the Burlington Teen Tour Band to participate in the 40th Anniversary of D-Day. To stand on the beaches and in the graveyards there made a huge impact on me. One of the things I remember most is that we were the same age as many of the fallen in the graveyard – nothing like a little check of how fortunate we are because of what they did.
So my appearance on FYI was postponed and it will be tonight at 6:25 pm! I thought I had managed to reschedule the blog posting, but apparently I had some technical difficulties and it appeared on the original date. Oops. Anyway, the spot I did on "FYI" for Cogeco cable TV – channel 23 in the Burlington/Oakville/Flamborough East area will be aired today. If you're outside of the viewing area, here's the link to video. (it's also embedded below, if I did it correctly?!). They wanted to feature the free content available here on www.yamstamps.com! The team at FYI were great to work with and did a fantastic job of editing – I had to cough during the interview and they were able to get rid of almost all of the coughs! (Note to self: remember to use inhaler just before taping next time!!! LOL). Thanks to Jessica and the Cogeco team for having me on the show!
