Pittance of Time; there's still hope in Canada

On November 11, 1999 Terry Kelly was in a Shoppers Drug Mart store in Dartmouth, Nova Scotia. At 10:55 AM an announcement came over the store’s PA asking customers who would still be on the premises at 11:00 AM to give two minutes of silence in respect to the veterans who have sacrificed so much for us.

Terry was impressed with the store’s leadership role in adopting the Legion’s “two minutes of silence” initiative. He felt that the store’s contribution of educating the public to the importance of remembering was commendable.

When eleven o’clock arrived on that day, an announcement was again made asking for the “two minutes of silence” to commence. All customers, with the exception of a man who was accompanied by his young child, showed their respect.

Terry’s anger towards the father for trying to engage the store’s clerk in conversation and for setting a bad example for his child was channeled into a beautiful piece of work called, “A Pittance of Time”.

Pop up the video; don't worry so much about the webpage itself. I posted the link to the QuickTime version, but a friend of mine says there's a WMV version floating around.

A nice, thoughtful tune indeed. Might be cool to redo the video with US troops, instead of the Canadian ones. It's the thought that counts, though.

Pity your friendly neighborhood radio station didn't play this track on 11/11. Maybe next year.

This is a GREAT Veterans’ Day video! It’s worth listening to and watching every veterans day.
