#RemembranceDay2021
Today I reflect of the courage, bravery, self sacrifice, dedication to freedom and human decency required to serve. I reflect on our cultural history of our brave men rising to protect women & children .. and I am proud. #RemembranceDay #LestWeForget
Today I reflect on women, mothers, wives, girlfriends & children that hugged fathers, husbands, & sons goodbye knowing they might never see them again. Yet they all understood that evil had taken root and human decency & future generations required this sacrifice. #LestWeForget
Today I reflect on all the women & young girls that offered and laboured any skill they had or could learn to give support to our military from manufacturing to writing letters... and I am proud of our resilience, ingenuity, and determination. #LestWeForget #RemembranceDay
Today I reflect and pray on the horrors our soldiers endured. Painful deaths alone in fields. The horror of witnessing the worst of humanity and understanding that winning the fight would be humanities only salvation.... and I am grateful. #LestWeForget
Today I reflect on all our Doctors, nurses, medical personal and the fortitude required to provide medical care in a war zone. I reflect on the weight they carry in remembering all the lives they couldn’t save... and I am humbled. #RemembranceDay2021
Today I recall the pain & haunting I saw in my in-laws eyes.
German, father-in-law, Siberian concentration camp for refusing to fight for Hitler, mother-in-law smuggled out of Germany underground...and I know why we had to fight and win that war... and I am proud #LestWeForget
Today as I remember & revisit all our men, women, & children have sacrificed in the name of human freedom and peacekeeping I am aware of how little we respect, support, and reward all that serve ... and I am ashamed of our governments priorities. #RemembranceDay #LestWeForget
Having been a white child apprehended by Family & Children’s Services and subjected to multiple sexual, physical assaults by staff, and egregious behavioural modification torture techniques
I am sickened by Liberal hypocrisy.
Having spent my adult life working with abused children, taking in 8 foster daughters subjected to the same rape and torture at the hands of Family & Children’s Services including my Indigenous foster daughter I am sickened by Liberal hypocrisy.
As a 12 year old child, I looked into the face of F&CS group home director and stated, “Mark my words you will pay my paycheque one day” after he had told me, “no wonder your parents beat you & don’t want you, you are useless”. My first job in social work was in that group home.
