(From the CBCNEWs, Calgary) Soldiers who fought and died for freedom were remembered at ceremonies across the country Friday, but not all those who fought and died considered themselves to be free.

To honour gay and lesbian soldiers, Rob Eberly, dressed in drag as his persona, Mz. Rhonda, laid a wreath at the cenotaph in Calgary's Central Memorial Park, marking the first time the LGBT community has been formally recognized during a Remembrance Day service in the city.

Organizers think it is also a first in Canada. for the full story, Click Here.
