Dear Editor
This is a message to all businesses.
2014 is the 100th anniversary of the start of the First World War, the "Great War." This means 2013 is the 99th anniversary.
Canada sent 600,000 soldiers to the Great War. Of those 66,000 didn't come home, 66,000 times a mother grieved.
This year, respect Remembrance Day and do not do a Christmas "open house" on Remembrance Day. That is just wrong. Go a step further and honour them by not putting up your Christmas decorations and displays until after Remembrance Day. This is just the right thing to do.
Thank you in advance from the granddaughter of a soldier of the Great War.
