I don't think I can ever forget the true meaning of the day. It's hard to do that right now.
But I would like to play taps for them, and yes, I'll definitely raise an adult beverage in their memory.
Some "Taps" sites"
You'll find the music here Cursor down to "Taps"
The probable story
And for the Canadians, though I find it very powerful for us here in the US as well:

2% are defending it.
This weekend is not about BBQs,is about the men and women that have bravely paid the ultimate price for freedom there lives.
For those that are serving thank you.
Well put, Howler. Let us never forget! God Bless America.

Fallen, But Never Forgotten...
#Present #Arms
Fading light dims the sight
And a star gems the sky, gleaming bright
From afar drawing nigh,
Falls the night.
Day is done, gone the sun
From the lakes, from the hills, from the skies
All is well, safely rest;
God is nigh.
Then goodnight, peaceful night;
Till the light of the dawn shineth bright.
God is near, do not fear,
Friend, goodnight.

It is the Soldier, not the minister
Who has given us freedom of religion.
It is the Soldier, not the reporter
Who has given us freedom of the press.
It is the Soldier, not the poet
Who has given us freedom of speech.
It is the Soldier, not the campus organizer
Who has given us freedom to protest.
It is the Soldier, not the lawyer
Who has given us the right to a fair trial.
It is the Soldier, not the politician
Who has given us the right to vote.
It is the Soldier who salutes the flag,
Who serves beneath the flag,
And whose coffin is draped by the flag,
Who allows the protester to burn the flag.
