On Friday, I had the beauty of witnessing Canada's first Day of Honour as a celebration of the troops coming home from Afghanistan. I personally don't know a whole lot about Canada's history and the military (and I'm learning as we go) but it is so important to my boyfriend and his family that I make it a priority to see and do these things.

My favourite photo of the day. Perfect time, perfect place. A soldier standing on his LAV next to the Peace Tower. |
On top of this, I am a Canadian and I live in his beautiful country that all of these people lay down their lives for. The least, and really least I can do is say thank you for that.

The last flag flown in Afghanistan, carried in a baton specially built for it. |
Here are some of my photos from the lovely parade that went on. Thanks for everyone who came out and stood out in what debated looking like ran.
