   Dangerous to All   
   Re: Remembrance Day

   From: dangerous@telus.net   
      
     We just got back from Preston Chev Olds in downtown Langley.  We   
   attend his viewing of his private collection of WW1 and WW2 hemophilia he   
   has   
   on display for Remembrance day yearly.  Each year I take pictures of items   
   he has on display.  On this Remembrance Day our two min. of silence was   
   while we were amongst this   
   collection....   
   One picture I have is of boots worn by someone unknown.   
   It made me think..   
      
   .who filled these boots   
   what steps did they trod   
   did they carry him safely   
   when he served far abroad   
   where his feet kept warm   
   in the trenches they sat   
   the souls of the boots, worn   
   from miles that were crossed   
      
   clothing,   
   radios   
   pictures   
   letters   
   shells   
   duffle bags   
   trunks   
   boots   
   hats   
   jeeps   
   grooming kits   
      
   and many more articles from the Canadian Army , Airforce and Marines.....all   
   whispering stories   
   from those unknown who embraced  them for survival   
   fighting for generations of future Canadians.
