CANADA
Our Flag from 1957 to 1965, The previous one had green maple leaves.
Our Post Office built 1930. Decked out for Thursday
A local store , This one always shows the flag, I like that.
Sadly two more Canadians died on the weekend in Afghanistan. Both Medics.
With Bush in power this has become a rare site in Canada. Now we are seeing more American Flags flown again. I like that. Our neighbours are also our friends.

oh what a great idea for a ruby tuesday sonny sikora!
ReplyDeleteoh i just love that union jack flag that you have included.
sonny when you were just a little boy on feb, 1965 in public school when the red maple leaf flag was raised for the first time, did you kids pledge allegiance to it like we used to do to the union jack?
i don't think we did in high school.
this is a great post and when i think of what those hoodlums did in toronto this week, i think they should be ashamed of themselves!
just to think that the day before, two of our medic troops a girl and a boy had given their lives fighting for freedom!
god bless you sonny and god protect your son...love terry
