ANNE M. CROSSMAN: Patriotism on full display
The most patriotic event I remember as a child, was going to the Ottawa War Memorial with my Dad for Remembrance Day. I had a red coat and a red hat with a feather on it. I wasn’t very old, but I felt the importance of the occasion and was very proud to be with my father, who had flown Spitfires with the Royal Air Force in the Second World War.
