OT: Respect.

[Robatoy]

There is a difference how we treat our men and women in the armed forces, before, during, and alas after combat compared to other countries.

The Highway Of Heroes is NOT a protest, but a manifestation of genuine respect.

mentioned standing at the foot of a monument here in Canada, and I couldn't help but notice how many flowers and wreaths were still put at the feet of those monuments every November 11.

[Upscale]

I've always viewed it as honouring our soldiers. Where did you hear about it being a protest?

[Robatoy]

That statement that it "NOT a protest" was to clarify the fact to some that sometimes people gather in support, not in protest.

Their numbers are dwindling fast, but there are still some who refer to 11/11 as "Armistice Day".
