Today, while the US memorial service was going on in Washington, I happened
to turn to C-SPAN. They were covering the Canadian memorial service which
took place in Ottawa on Parliament Hill. It was a beautiful day in Ottawa!
The lawn in front of the Peace Tower was filled with people....Canadian,
Americans, and I'm sure folks from all over the world. Canadian and American
flags were EVERYWHERE. Canada's Prime Minister, Jean Chretien, gave a brief
but powerful speech and our ambassador to Canada was also quite moving. The
feeling of the service was of our two countries being not just friends, but
family. It was very emotional....very few people in the crowd weren't crying.
Having lived in Ottawa, I already knew it was a beautiful city filled with
wonderful people....I felt very proud to have lived there!
C-SPAN frequently repeats what it has shown...so if you have a chance to
catch this, I strongly urge you to do so!
Be safe everybody,
Judy
