National Peacekeepers Day

[Edward Campbell]

Quit tempting me!  Im trying very hard not to hijack threads...

Back to the point.  Im embarassed to say I know nothing about CF Day, dont recall ever having celebrated it, attended it, or participated in it, or read up about it.  Just how long has this day been around?  Ive looked for a history on the event but cant even find when it first started...

See: http://www.forces.gc.ca/site/focus/DECPR/CFDay/celebrate_e.asp but you're right; there's precious little PR about it.

Well, it was officially celebrated today.  Ottawa Citizen

I totally forgot about this thread until I read this in the paper today.  Funny thing is, before I read the paper, I went to Beechwood Cemetery to visit the grave of a very good friend who passed away last year.  I guess that was my way of honoring a peacekeeper.
