………………………………………………………

To All Our Friends and Family Far & Near,

We are both dual Citizens of Canada and the US.

We celebrate Canada on Canada Day, Monday, July 1, 2013.
We are grateful to be Canadians by birth and to know and love Canada and Canadians.
In a few days, July 4, we will also celebrate our second home in the US.

Loving Kindness, Collins (Doc) and Jeannette Meek

Today we are grateful for Canada, its current citizens and those who went before us to make today possible.  – Doc & Jeannette Meek, Monday, July 1, 2013, Calgary, Alberta, CANADA, and South Jordan, Utah, USA. 

P.S. We have had a request for Canada’s National Anthem. Here it is in English and French (since Canada is a bilingual country):

O CANADA

O Canada! Our home and native land!

O Canada! Terre de nos aïeux,

True patriot love in all thy sons command.

Ton front est ceint de fleurons glorieux!

With glowing hearts we see thee rise,

Car ton bras sait porter l’épée,

The True North strong and free!

Il sait porter la croix!

From far and wide, O Canada,

Ton histoire est une épopée

we stand on guard for thee.

Des plus brillants exploits.

God keep our land glorious and free!

Et ta valeur, de foi trempée,

O Canada, we stand on guard for thee.

Protégera nos foyers et nos droits.

O Canada, we stand on guard for thee.

Protégera nos foyers et nos droits.
