👋 Hey Sheepdog,

Today, we pause to remember.

On Remembrance Day, we honor those who gave everything to protect our freedoms—the soldiers, medics, and countless others who stood in the face of danger to keep our families and communities safe.

It’s a day to reflect on the courage, sacrifice, and duty that drove them to put everything on the line.

For us as protectors, it’s a moment to remember what we’re standing for and to honor the responsibility we bear.

It’s a reminder that being a sheepdog means embracing a legacy of courage, resilience, and unwavering dedication to others.

These are the values we bring not just to self-defense, but to life itself—because our freedom came at a cost, and it’s on us to keep it safe.

So today, take a breath, hold those who came before us in your heart, and think about how we can carry their legacy forward.

We’re here to protect, to serve, and to ensure that their sacrifices are never forgotten.

Let’s honor their memory with strength, humility, and purpose.🌺🐺

In Flanders Fields

By John McCrae

In Flanders fields the poppies blow

Between the crosses, row on row,

    That mark our place; and in the sky

    The larks, still bravely singing, fly

Scarce heard amid the guns below.

We are the Dead. Short days ago

We lived, felt dawn, saw sunset glow,

    Loved and were loved, and now we lie,

        In Flanders fields.

Take up our quarrel with the foe:

To you from failing hands we throw

    The torch; be yours to hold it high.

    If ye break faith with us who die

We shall not sleep, though poppies grow

        In Flanders fields.

In Remembrance,

Paul Simoes

The video below is a recording that captures a moment in history like no other—a haunting, almost surreal transition from the brutality of war to the fragile silence of peace.

It’s as though you can feel the weight of every life lost in those final echoes, each shot and burst of artillery carrying the last shreds of desperation and duty.

Hearing the sounds that marked the end of a war meant to end all wars reminds us of both the horror and the hope of that time.

The silence that follows is almost sacred, a pause that holds all the grief, all the relief, and all the sacrifice that defined those years.

It's a powerful reminder that peace is hard-won, fragile, and worth everything.

Listening to it is a way of connecting with those who came before us—a solemn reminder of the cost of freedom and the resilience of those who fought for it.

Moments like these keep their memory alive, reminding us of our responsibility to honor that peace and to never forget.
