A day for tea, coffee, water, juice, and the conversations that begin when someone offers another person a drink.
At 11:00 AM, Canada stops. The bugle plays The Last Post and 38 million people go silent for two minutes. The poppy is on every lapel, the cenotaphs are full, and the veterans are fewer every year. In Ottawa, the ceremony at the National War Memorial is broadcast on every channel. In every small town, the legion hall is full. The veterans drink together afterward and tell the stories they can tell and keep the ones they cannot.
