Terry from the European Capital of Culture 2008 and the Irish Guards Association, Best wishes and thanks for some great songs.

Hello Terry - and a Happy 2008, if its still not too late. I used to be with Cdn. Guide Dogs when they had their office in Richmond - don't know if you remember me - I hope all is going well with you. I miss those fun dinners at Pastadinas!!

Website is really interesting!

We heard Pittance of Time through an email last month.  I ordered the CD for my husband for Christmas.  While we both love the song Pittance of Time, the whole CD is a listening pleasure...thank you for sharing it with us!

Terry,
I am haunted by, "A Pittance of Time", both the video and also the lyrics alone.

I fought a foreign war myself and experienced the cultural disregard that so many veterans find their service greeted with when they returned home.

I am sixty-one and slowing dying from cancer caused by my own side spraying defolients in the jungle.This only serves to exacerbate the anger within me.Your music helps mitigate it.Thank you.

I hope that you contine with your uplifting music. Your voice is soothing and full of sincerety. May our Lord bless you and yours.

When I heard Pittance of Time I could help but be so happy to hear such a song that I started to cry.

Thank you for caring so much for us.

old vietnam vet your song a pittance of time brought a
tear to my eye, it was heart felt thank you .

system crash and lost all info can i get a full screen
of the clip via email

A PITTANCE OF TIME WAS ONE OF THE MOST MOVING PICECES PF MUSICAL TRIBUTE I HAVE HADE PLESURE TO HEAR THANK YOU

hi terry kelly i really like your song pittance of time and it's one of my favorite songs to hear

WOW - we need more patriotic songs that can be sung in our public schools that now seem to have a penchant for political correctness at any price - "Is life so dear or peace to sweet as to be purchased at the price of chains and slavery? Forbid it almighty God. I know not what course others may take, but as for me, give me liberty, or give me death!" (quote by Patrick Henry). A Pittance of time brings a tear to my eye and a swelling in my throat when I see the veterans marching by. May we never forget their sacrifices!

Hi

i have heard great things about terry from a friend of mind who is helping me with the guitar. Terry I hope to hear you in concert one day

I just had the distinct pleasure of watching "a Pittance of Time" Oh my god I had tears in my eyes. Thank you for creating such an inspirational message. I am aware that you wrote it a couple of years ago and I am ashamed to say this is the first time I saw it. I am a 28 year member of the Canadian Air Force. I have been in the Middle East as a peacekeeper and will in the next year serve 2, 2 month tours in Afghanistan.
I am proud to serve as my brothers and sisters in arms before me have. Thanks for what you did and what you continue to do. God Bless you.

In 1988, I attended Expo 88, where I saw Terry at the Canadian Pavilion, his performance drew unbelievable crowds. We had to have a copy of his Face to Face album. This tape was repeatedly played over and over but unfortunately it has since expired. Can anyone help me to purchase another copy of this album, as life just doesn't seem the same without it.
After hearing the amazing Pittance of Time, I contacted my local RSL and suggested that maybe it would be an appropriate song for them to play at our remembrance services. Even though it was written for the overseas servicemen and women, peace is something that we strive for world wide.

Terry
With my 3 year old daughter, I deeply commend you (she calls me "soldier daddy"). You are a vision needed in this cloudy and dusty world. PLEASE FIGHT THE FIGHT AND SING THE SONG!!!!

Joe and Amber

Dear Terry,

How lucky am I that I had the opportunity to hear you sing, A Pittance of Time, at the recent CAPS conference? I have watched the video and listened to the song a number of times since returning home, and am profoundly inspired each time. Thank you for the good work you are doing to honor the spirit and celebrate the lives of those who serve. The world needs to hear you.

My father recently passed away, a veteran, fire fighter and great man. More than 50 year Legion Member and an Honourary Life Member of the Kitchener Fire Dept, only one of 3 to be awarded with such an honour. I played a Pittance of Time for may Dad and Celebration of Life, and it brought tear to his eyes, as he succumbed to occupational cancer from years of firefighting, but he wouldn't have given up one day of his career, as he loved his job and his country. Terry your inspirational songs are a tribute to all the great men and women of this country. Thank you for your words and wisdom, and being a great inspiration to Canada.

hello terry
its a sheer joy to listen to you and see the videos,
keep the good work up you are giving so many people pleasure
take care terry god bless you
cedric

Just got my CD, The Power of the Dream, EXELLENT!
As an Ex Military man "Pittance Of Time" hits a nerve.
Now I can see that the ordering process is quick and painless, I WILL be ordering more CD's. Kev.

Terry, being a drummer does not qualify me to sing. But to have someone like you to express this strong message for me is absolutely beautiful. Thank you and especialy the veterans, and those who did not make it back. Ray Gould.

Pittance of time has become so important to me. I'm a Canadian Fire Fighter and hold this song so dear to my heart. This song is now played annually at our November 11 Rememberance Day Ceremony. This song so beautifully and passionately reminds us all. Thank you.

Terry, your gift has inspired you to share your other gifts such as musical talent, for which I am truly grateful to be on the receiving end. I, too, was brought to tears at the FMI conference, November 30th. Your gift of music moved me. Thank you.

J'ai eu le plaisir d'assister à votre conférence ce matin (FMI accounting Conference in Ottawa) et ai été émue par vos belles chansons ainsi que pas vos propos. Votre témoignage est une belle leçon de vie. Merci pour ce beau moment et merci aussi pour votre si belle chanson "Pittance of time" que j'ai eu le plaisir de découvrir il n'y a pas si longtemps. Je déplore qu'au Québec nous n'ayons pas comme jour férié "le jour du souvenir". C'est très regrettable. Quand je pense que mon grand-père a fait la 1ère guerre mondiale!
Bravo Terry pour tout ce que vous faites.

Terry Kelly is an amazing singer and song writer, I remember hearing Terry on the radio when I was younger but never knew who he was. Then he came to our High School in Montague PEI. He talked to us and sang some songs and I have been a fan ever since.
Thankyou Terry for being who you are.

Hi Terry -

I attended your talk this morning at the FMI accounting Conference in Ottawa. I am so grateful to have heard you speak and sing: your gorgeous voice and inspiring lyrics brought me to tears several times. What gift you are to Canadians and the world. Thank you for being who you are and sharing it with us.

I am the granddaughter and daughter of Holocaust survivors. Thank you for a Pittance of Time, Terry.

your "pittance of time" moved me to tears, just beautiful !

Love Sonya<33

Thank you, your song "A pittance of time" touched my heart, I have served my country twice in times of war in other countries, and your song said it all and some.Thank you once again

Dear Terry,

I've never a "fan letter" before so this is a first. Being a soldier is something that is universal. I served with the 82nd Airborne Div. in Vietnam and was lucky to come home whole. Your song brought tears to my eyes.

Thank you so very much,

Dean Lundell

A Pittance of Time is a wonderful song by a wonderful singer, but most important of all, a wonderful tribute to all those who fought and are still fighting for freedom.

A wonderful collection of songs, especially 'A Pittance of time'.

I just want to say how touching your song is to me. A Pittance of Time ...

Hello Tel,

Have today, received The Power Of The Dream. Once again I thank you...regards George (Montreal

I am sitting here having lunch and I just found your song and video of "Pittance of Time". I work at a 600 acre Vetererns Hospital in Maryland and I want to tell you that your song brought this burly old elevator mechanic to tears. I hope you don't mine if I share your song with fellow workers? It is a great reminder of why we are here and who we work for.My wife and I just visited Arlington Cemetery in honor of Veterans day and I wish they could play this song and video in their welcome center. Thanks for the song. Wilmac.

I am a 7th grade social studies teacher. For Veteran's Day I wanted to show a meaningful video to my students and one that would not totally bore them to death. I checked out You Tube. I set up several short video clips in what I though was a meaningful order. One of the clips I found was "The Pittance of Time". I cannot tell you how much that song and accompanying video touched me.

The kids in each class came in singing to Lee Greenwood's "Proud To Be An American". With it were visuals of the country. The very last video was again "Proud To Be An American". There was no singing - just total silence. The difference came as I showed there a variety of memoral clips for Veteran's Day from different wars. Of course, your clip was included.

I had to watch the whole presentation 5 times that day. I will tell you that your song gave me chills each time. It is such a beautiful tune. I just went on your website and discovered that it was inspired by a real life situation. I cannot wait to let my students know this.

Thank you so much for what you do.

Sincerely,

Ms. D.A. Weeks

Thank you for your song "A Pittance of Time". You have beautifully captured what many of us have felt. That it is important to honor our Veterans, their sacrifice, their courage, and the gift that they have given us all. My son is a Cadet this year, and our family is gaining a new appreciation for what our Veterans have accomplished.

Mr. Kelly;

I listemed to your music for the first time today. You are a very gifted person. I myself am a Nova Scotia girl and your music will be a part of my listening pleasure from now on. Keep doing what you do.

Take Care
Dawn Taplin

Terry that song of Pittance of time is excellent

He was a korean Vet and 21 years in regular service as well Major WJ Campbell. thanks from the 5 B's
Bev Bob Bill Barb and Bernice and all the rest of the family

Thank you for writing that song. It is really special and when my school has rememberance asendbly we put your song on and show picture of the army. I really like you songs!
I have a brother who is 13 and he is visenlyaperid and that means he is almost blind.

Bye Miranda

Dear Terry,
Thank you so much for sharing the Pittance of Time. My sister sent it to me in e-mail. Thank you!! It was so moving and so touching as like many other listeners I to was brought to tears. So many people take for granted our freedom and do not realize the cost of it.. May God Bless You and Your family, also all the military men and woman that are fighting for our freedome..
Lori

Thanks for Pittance of Time from all of my military family. It has moved me to tears.

Beautiful! Brought tears to my eyes. Your beautiful voice and lyrics makes you stop and think about all the vets and fighting soldiers. Thank you so much.

Hi Terry, came across your song Pittance of Time a few days before RBL Remembrance Service which was shown on the BBC, I wish it was played over here in the UK a few weeks before the service as it does make you think about what sacrifices all servicemen/women give, keep up the good work.

Micky M ex Lightinfantryman

Terry, We received your video from a friend and were both moved by it. My wife and I are both veterans and I am the son of a WWII veteran. For years I have been telling my co-workers to find a veteran and say, "Thank you" when we have the holiday off. I wish I could forward the video to all of them. Thank you for the beautiful sentiment and song.

Paul and Karen
P.S. I downloaded the music and learned to play it today, I hope you don't mind. P

Dear Terry,
Thank you so much for the inspiring song, "Pittance of Time". When I first inquired about the song and video, I was pleasantly surprised to have had my phone message returned by your brother and manager Tony. We have since purchased the video and will be presenting it to my father-in-law, John S. Vargo Jr., veteran of The United States Navy, 79 years old today. John has been tireless in his efforts to educate the public about the importance of remembering our veterans. John is the president of The Vermilion Ohio Veterans Council, an organization that honor's all Veterans who gave the ultimate sacrifice for our freedom. When my father passed in 2003, John and the Veterans who paid their last respects at the funeral home is something that my Mother and five siblings still remember. It was a difficult time, to say the least, however, seeing the 20 or so Veterans who conducted the service stand at attention and to hear the guns salute my Father outside the funeral home.....it was very moving and this experience is still a great comfort to us all. If you are ever in our area, we would welcome you to our Amvets Post 22 Home in Vermilion Ohio.
May God Bless you Terry. You have done so much good for so many.
Sincerely, Rhonda Futo-Vargo
May God Bless

I only just discovered you recently through the Remembrance song but I just had to say you have a voice that I like very much and I really do like your songs - you are a very talented writer and person. Thank you.

A Pittance of Time Performance was one of the most moving and meaningful presentations I have ever attended. I only wish all Canadians could see it. My two school aged kids were also in attendance and I believe it was a profound and important message that was a gift to them & I am so grateful you helped them receive! Years ago I in my own youth and unknowing, asked my great grand-uncle about the both world wars he was in. I guess he had no words to properly express the depth of the wars to me and simply stated " You never ever want to experience war in your life. That's why we fought, so you will never ever have to experience war". I never truly got the depth of the impact war had on people, real people, like my grand-uncles that fought, until A Pittance of Time. I feel my children are blessed with a knowing and better understanding of "why" and what the war was about. A Pittance of Time is a brilliant way to ensure that we all never forget! BRAVO Terry and all involved. Keep it going. It seems to be your life's mission and blessing! Thanks so very much!!! I felt honored to be in attendance.

Terry,

I just have to say that you are an amazing singer and i really enjoyed "A Pittance of Time" and "Christmasin the Trenches"

Thank you!!

Hey Terry,
I would just like to say thank you. My great grand father was in world war 2. He died 3 years ago. Thankyou so much for your tribute
Cameron age 11

I just watched your video and song "Pittance Of Time", I had to watch it several times, it made me cry each time. I have known nine soldiers who have died in Iraq and Afghanistan, Thank you for your tribute. And bless all of our (Canadian and American) military.

This song and tribute is the only one ever to make me tear up. This song and vido should open the door for the "Order Of Canada" award.

Terry,

I had the honour to march with other vets at the cenotaph in London last Sunday. A Pittance Of Time kept echoing in my ears. As a fellow Canadian, I thank you...

Dear Terry, Lest we never forget...this is the most beautiful tribute to our Veterans that I've ever seen. Every day I remind myself were it not for them, something as simple as going to the store would not be a freedom I would enjoy. So to observe moments of silence once a year, is the very least I can do. Thank you Vets, and thank you Terry for ensuring their legacy will not be forgotten! And to our Soldiers currently overseas, thank you too...you make me very proud.

I HAVE WHACHED "PITTANCE OF TIME" MANY TIMES AND IT DONE VERY WELL ,AND IT BRINGS A TEAR TO MY EYES

Mr. Kelly, I wanted to let you know that your song Pittance of time has been in my head since i hear dit on rememebrance day, it is a beautiful song, and it doesn't matter how many times i hear it, it still brings tears to my eyes, you have a wonderful way with words and music, My great grandfather fought in both world wars and died a few years after i was adopted, its for him that i listen and remember, thank you for making such a beautiful way to remeber

Dear Mr Kelly, I am a US Air Force veteren from a very unpopular war. My daughter is now in the US Air Force. For whatever reson, your "Pitance of time" has stirred up ghost from my past. Thank you. I feel more alive today than I have felt for many years. My war may not have popular, but I can now hold my head up even if it's just a "Pitance of Time"

Absolutely wonderful... Pittance of Time, brought tears to my eyes and I wish all people would take time to remember. And after just listening to "We Can do Anything", I know what my daughters Wedding Song should be. God Bless

As the son of a United States Army veteran (Korea & Vietnam) I can't tell you how your tribute to veterans all over the world moved me. My father now rests in Arlington having given most of his life to defending freedom in this strange and ever-changing world. Regardless, I feel comfortable in knowing that it was not....and is not...useless. Thank you...and God Bless YOU for your strength and support of veterans all over the world. A toast to you to eventual peace so songs like this will never have to be written again.

My husband and I heard you sing for the Remeberance Day Services in Edmonton this year on tv. It was very moving and our guide for the rodeo read it on the bus. Thanks

Terry, I saw the video Pittance of time,and was totally blown away, There are few things that make this Marine cry... Our Fallen and our Veterans are two that come to mind. You have certainly honored them and I will show this to my two teen age boys. Thank You ! and SEMPER FI!

Never have I listened/watched a song that has moved me so much.Everytime I listen there are tears in my eyes .Thank you so much.

Great song. It really hits home and send a message to those who have forgotten......Great work

Absolutely fantastic, not only do you cut to the heart of the world your performance is produces the emotions we have forgotten we had! Your voice is very Celtic and lovely. Keep doing what you are doing. You inspire and teach, a rare trait these days.

Sincerely Terri Shoulders

Pittance of Time....Truly a beautiful piece of music brought a tear to my eyes. sadly it reflects today,s trend....from an old Malaya/Borneo Veteran

I had never heard this song until Sat. Nov. 10. We were setting up to honor our vets with a dinner, and we were listening to war songs. My cousin told me about your song and when I got home on got on the computer to find your site. When I played the video I cried. It is so great. Thank you. I emailed it to my friends and family. They all loved it too. Thanks again for a great song and video. Of course all your songs are great.

Terry,
My brother sent me the video via an e-mail link. I was overwhelmed. Both of our parents who are now in their 90's served in Canada's great Navy in WW11. I am very proud of them and to be able to live in the freedom that they helped to create. Bless you for creating such an honourable tribute to those who did and are now serving in our Forces. I am inspired to continue to believe in the good future for all.
Thank you.
Wendy Baines

This is a wonderful tribute to the 11th hour of the 11th day of the 11th month memorial. Beautifully written and performed.

got moments of time from a old salt x.m.n in owen sound. we loved it .but doris tried music stores in oz but no c,d .s ex m.n oldpom jim in oz .we loved it . all the best

IT CAME IN THE E-MAIL TODAY, FOR THE FIRST TIME. HOW WONDERFULLY INSPIRING. THANK YOU, DEAR SIR. I SERVED IN GERMANY, OCCUPATIONAL FORCES OF THE US ARMY. HOWEVER, MANY FRIENDS ARE NOW IN MEMORY ONLY, FOR THE SERVICE THEY GAVE FOR US ALL. THANK YOU AGAIN FOR THIS LOVELY REMEMBERANCE. FOR THOSE WHO DO NOT KNOW WHY, THEY MUST LEARN.

I absolutely love the song, the music, the lyrics of "A Pittance Of Time". I have learned to play the song on the guitar and truly enjoy playing over and over again.
A friend of mine has sent me the video now for the second year in a row and it was the second time it was sent that actually inspired me more to want to learn to play it, so I did.
I listen to the words, and almost feel like crying while playing it. The song means alot to me. Thank you for putting it together so perfectly.
Good Luck to you in every way.
Regards,
Alex Driscoll

Your lovely song expressed very important sentiments, but on this Veteran's Day in the US, I have to say I don't "understand why they died..." in Viet Nam or now in Iraq and Afghanistan. Blessed be all who serve but we need to end the insanity...thank you for your lovely thoughts.

DEAR MR. KELLY
YOUR HEART WARMING SONG "THE PITTANCE OF TIME" BROUGHT TEARS TO MY FATHERS EYES, HE WAS LAST ONE OFF LAST OFF THE TORPEDOED S.S. STONESTREET, A BOOK WAS WRITTEN CALL "THE LAST VOYAGE" WARTIME HERO'S OF WORLD WAR 11 BY LEONARD E AMBORSKI WROTE ABOUT IT & MY FATHER IT WAS PUT IN AS A ADDENDUM. I SENT HIM YOUR SONG & I WOULD LIKE TO KNOW IF WE CAN PURCHASE IT IN ANY ONTARIO STORES NEAR US? IT SHOULD BE PLAYED AS OFTEN AS POSSIBLE TO REMIND WHAT SACRIFICES THEY MADE FOR OUR FREEDOM, I THINK THEY ARE SADLY NEGLECTED. TO ALL THE MEN & WOMAN WHO FOUGHT FOR US WE SALUTE YOU, GOD BLESS YOU ALL
BY THE WAY MY DAD IS NEIL DEAN MERCHANT NAVY WHO LOST HIS BROTHER ON ANOTHER SHIP SO REMEMBERANCE DAY IS VERY CLOSE TO OUR HEARTS. THANK YOU MR. KELLY FOR THAT WONDERFUL DEDICATION YOU GIVE THEM.
RESPECTFULLY
DIANNA MILLICHAMP

I heard your song and watched the video "A Pittance of Time" for the first time yesterday, Remembrance Day 2007. It is one of the most moving and emotional songs that I have ever listened to and I sincerely hope that more people "remember". I hope we remember to be grateful for and humbled by what our soldiers... past and present ... have sacrificed to secure and protect our freedoms.

on the friday before 11/11/07 our school had an assembly and they played your video "A Pittance of Time" i loved the song and was really moved by the story that went with it
grade 11 student at St. Anne's Catholic Secondary School

Here in the USA, I work at a large retailer. The first Veterans Day after 9/11 has been the only time I remember complete silence in the store. Your song and video are very moving. Thank you for the great piece of art.

Thank you Terry,

I was sent this video last year and kept it on my computor. I have listened to it a few times over this year and on Nov 9 I sent it to all my friends and family with a link to the lyrics. It is absolutly a fantastic piece of music. With a message that should be though of more often then just one day a year.

Thank you again and God Bless,
Dave

I recieved your video in a E-Mail from my brother on Remmembrance Day. As a Retired CF member I understand in away what our soldiers are going through overseas. I believe that they are a wonderful job andwe as Canadians should be very proud of them. You'e song commes right to point that some people respect our soldiers did and are doing and others don't give a damn.

Terry,
I saw the video for the first time this morning, and it stopped me in my tracks. It's special to me as my father and uncle served in World War II, another uncle in Korea, and my cousin and myself in VietNam, along with so many others. It really is a wonderful tribute. Thanks for this.

Hi Terry,
I just received your Pittance Of Time song from a friend of mine in an email for Remembrance Day and I was very moved by this song. I was also angered by the young father who chose not to respect the 2 minutes of silence. We are very caring and compassionate people here in Canada and always willing to help. I am so proud of our men and women that have put their lives on the line for us. It is time that all Canadians take a good look at what these people have allowed us to enjoy and start showing their appreciation in all the little ways that they can to help make this a better world to live in.
Love and God Bless to all

Most Moving. Somany hae given so much more than I. I played this for my Father in Law, a disabled vet from Okinawa. He got up and said "somebody remembered"

Your video "pittance of time" was passed to me on Remembrance Day this year by an American friend and although I flew for 20 years in the Canadian Forces and served in NATO Europe and USA Air Force, I was fortunate not to be ordered to fire my weapons to kill. . . Those who have done so over the years deserve our deepest respect and a daily moment of silence. . . but your video was so meaningful for me I can't express. . . except to say thank you for putting it into words.

I heard this song about three years ago; I was touch by how it made me feel. I though I was tough at heart but this song broke me. Every year I play this song and get the same feeling. The incident that moved you to write this song has just happened to me.
I was at a furniture store with my wife, son (1year) and daughter (3years) when I told my daughter she had to keep quit and think of the men who fought to keep this country free. And show your respect. There was a salesman from this store still trying to make a deal with some one. This made my daughter ask why he is not thinking of the men we speck of. I could only say sshh until the two min where up, then I told her out laud that some people have no respect. I just hope her heard me.

We played your video at our Remembrance Day assembly and it was absolutely beautiful and deeply moved me. Not a pin drop was heard during the playing of it. You have an incredible talent and can sing too!

I like your excellent home-page very and especial your admiring words for all the veterans. More than 7000 soldiers gave their live. We will remember them!
I endured WW2 and I'm liberated by the Canadian Army, who saved me from starbing for hunger may 1945.
I'm still grateful for that!

Hey terry keller im Chris and i really like your song/movie

Terry, Someone I'd like to refer to as my man sent your video clip to me. A Pittance of time I feel is an absolutely beautiful tribute to all who have fought in wars. I love all your other video clips as well. Each one has in it a very special message for me. My favorite out of all six is Moment to Moment. You have a great voice and have inspired me that no challenge is too great to empower ourselves and overcome. Thank you for blessing us with your
gifts.

Terry
I heard your song "Pitance of time" rather it was sent to me over the internet. It made me cry, as so
many others I have since sent. I can think of no better voice to convey your message. It made me look you up on my computer. I was amazed at being able to find out more about you, and future songs that you will be singing.

I will close with this sentiment
Love
Jan

Thank you for such a touching song.

Thank you so much for beautifully done song that hit home. Can you tell me where I can get a copy of your record.
Thank you so much
Steve

Thank you Terry for such a beautiful song, it brought tears to my eyes. What a wonderful tribute.

I saw the story and listened to the song and was deeply touched. I am reminded that when we forget then price that was paid for what we got (be it America, Canadian, English, whatever) then loose that value that it holds. Apathy and forgetfulness are the deterioration of freedom. All I will say is I served and I will never forget my brothers and sisters who did the same. God Bless Liberty!!!

It is the first time I heard your song today - what a beautiful tribute for all the Veterans around the world - 2 minutes is nothing in our lives to remember all those who lost their lives for us.

This recording is so very powerful and so very meaningful. It brought a tear to the ear and put a lump in my throat. As a vet I thank you, and as a father, grandfather and teacher I say bravo for your gift.

Terry, your song "A Pittance of Time" is amazing and very heart warming. It's hard to believe that people are rude enough to ignore the two minutes that we ask them to give in honour of our soilders. Thank You so much!

Thanks for the song. It brought a lump to my throat.

hi Terry & Tony, we proudly sent your timeless youtube video The Pittence of Time video as a bulletin and blogged it on our related myspace -- Terry, thank you for sharing your gift of music

chris white, publisher
partyinkingston.com

This is aa wonderful video/song to be sent to people. Its amazing how many people sacraficed their lives to mak our country peaceful! I love this song and everytime i hear it i stop what im doing and think about how kind these veterans are to every single one of us! Te song always makes me cry when i think of how wonderful those soilders are. And maybe one day i will be a hero JUST like them! L'est we forget! Take 2 minutes, would you mind, its a pittance of time, for all the boys and the girls who went over, in peace may they rest, lest me forget why they died...... its a pittance of time - Terry Kelly. Thank you for this wonderful experience.

Dear Terry,
Along with so many others I am writing to say what a wonderful tribute you have made to our Veterans. Each year the song\video is sent through email to so many people, it is wonderful that you touch so many people with this beautiful experience. The song is a reminder to all to be humble, and to be humble is a wonderful gift.
Thank you for the gift,
God Bless

Remembrance Day has always ment much to me--your song,1st time hearing it today increases the meaning and to a younger modern audience. We war babies have to spread the word as I try to children & grandchildren.My dad was a WWII vet,lived to be 92.My younger brother is a senior officer & my son a junior officer.I had other Canadian relatives who served too.I live,old & free as a Canadian of several generations here in Quebec--free cause of those gone before & the high prices many of them paid.Those of my family now,the 2 generations after me & further,if I can do it will hear your song and the love in it.

Excellent song, being a Newfoundlander from St. John's and while serving for the last 18 years and still serving, this song hits home very strong. My hat goes off to Mr. Terry Kelly, a fellow Newfoundlander for taking the time to acknowledge the sacrfice of this Countries Fallen and Veterens. Lest We Never Forget! Thank You.

I heard Pittance Of Time on Friday Nov.9 spending most of the weekend trying to find it to have my husband,daughter and son to hear it also.Today during our communities Remembrance service my daughter of 11 yrs.told me"don't sing some of my classmates are looking at you".Sing that is what my parents expected when you went to these types of services,just like that few minutes of silence in remembrance.If we can't take just a few minutes to remember those men and woman from our past and our future we will fail as a society of people.Thank you for the wonderful song I only wish my Dad was still living to hear those lyrics being WW2 vet.Thank you again,the song truly tells a story.

oh my god.
i lovee the song and the meaning everything about it.
it really brings out the emotion in people i watched it and i called me grandfather immediately to talk to him, he was a vet in the korean war, he feels that people don't thank the war vets of the korean war enough he calls it the forgotten war.

Truely liked the song and vidio.It hits hard with my family, not only because of my grampa in the WW2, and my wife's father as well. We have a daughter in the 101 Airbourne, on her 2nd tour in Iraq.

the song pittance of time is wonderful.... it really makes me want to hear it over,and over again.
i will remember them!! :)

What a beautiful story and beautiful song. My grandson just got home from his third deployment over there. This song and story brought tears to my eyes.
I do condolence books for the families of our lost heroes. Would you mind if I included the lyrics of this song in them? They are very nice books with condolence books from all over. We include history, poems, songs, etc. in them and I would love in include this story and song. If you read this, possibly you could give me permission.
Thank you for being such a caring man. I know it means a lot to any family that has someone in the Military.

Dear Terry Kelly,
What a beautiful song. My best friend, Dave from St. John's, Newfoundland sent it to me and tears just rolled down my cheeks while listening to it. I am a very proud CANADIAN who happens to reside in California. Thank you for singing such a beautiful, meaningful song.
Have an amazing day!

Terry, a shipmate of mine, an F-4 pilot whose name is also Terry, turned me on to you. "A Pittance of Time" transcends and flies directly to the heart. Thank you. I hope you don't mind my sharing a link to a song and video called Someone's Brother for you to hear. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QfAfXChCNE4

This is the best song that I have either heard about Remembrance Day. It drives me up the wall when I'm at the Remebrace Day cervises and people are texting and talking. Thank you for bringing attention to this and maybe one day everyone will give up two minuites of their time to pay tribute to those who gave years.

I saw your video performance of A Pittance of Time at my church service this morning. Thank you for your beautiful, moving musical tribute to our veterans. Lest We Forget

Thank you, Terry for writing such a beautiful song as, "A Pittance of Time." Every year at this time, I cry like a baby as I remember those who came before me. You've struck straight to the heart of why we have Veteran's Day here in the US and Rememberance Day in the rest of the world. God bless you!

Dear Terry,
Thank you so much for such a beautiful song. Our parish priest plays this each year at our church on Rememberance Day, and it is always so moving. It makes one pause and think of the great sacrafice offered on our behalf by these young men, so many years ago and to the soldiers of the present day. My Father was a vet and an uncle is buried in Holland. I have forwarded this to everyone I know. God Bless You!

The tears your song brought are not tears of sadness but tears of rememberance and pride in being a veteran.

Terry.... Great song. I am going to share the link with everyone I know. Thank you.

Terry, thank you so much for a "Pittance of Time" which was sent to me yesterday and which I, in turn, have passed on to friends and family. It is so appropriate on this Remembrance Sunday. We Will Remember Them.

Hi Terry! I love your song "a pittance of time."

Every time that I hear the song, it brings such emotions to the surface. Like "The Band Played Waltzing Matilda" it has become a staple of Rememberance Day for me. Derek ...... 35 year vet of Canadian Air Force.

Thank you for such a great song it brought tears to my eyes. I heard about this song from one of our sunday school coordinaters and she suggested we play it for our sunday school kids. Again Thank you and keep up the good work.

Very beautiful song with a lot of meaning too it. Great job Terry!

I luv this song. They showed it at our rememberance celebration at my school and most everyone balling their eyes out. Im 11 and i love your song sssooo much!!it remindes of everyone old in my family. Its so lovely!!

Terry I truely feel that you are not only a voice for our current and fallin soilders. But a strong and proud voice for Canadians alike. So thank you and hold your head high because I certenly do.

Love you Terry. Keep up the good work.

dear terry: your song A Pittance of Time is very beautiful. It brings many emotions to me. My father was in the Second World War. He did not talk of war much as I'm sure there was much hurtful memories. You are giving so many people the opportunity through your songs and your informational website site to really think about their own lives and the lives of other men and women who fought for our freedoms today. Let us remember the brave and in each of our own hearts continue to be brave be loved and give love in this world today. Our children are learning aswell to respect and honour men and women who have had commitments in the wars of the world. God bless them. Peace be with them.

I was at my girls school services and they played your video and i cried...This day has always been close to my heart. I hope your work will make others think a little longer then just the two minutes they ask for.....

I took my class to a Remembrance Day ceremony this year, and A Pittance in Time was played for the kids. I was so moved that I've ordered a copy for myself, and I'll pass this information on to my principal to see if she wants to order any material for our school.

Hi Terry, We just finished listening to your song "Pittance of Time" again. It is such a beautiful song. What a nice tribute. You are a special man with a big heart

What a beautiful Song and Video

What a beautiful song. I am only 11 yrs old, but yesterday when they showed the video in our school assembly I cried my eyes out. All my friends looked at me and said" Why would you cry". I replied It`s Nice to take time and remember". Mr. Kelly you have a great talent!! And I wish more people would take the time to remember, that the soldiers don`t know all of us, but yet they put their lives on the line just so we can be safe
You have a GREAT HEART Mr.Kelly

it is a very special song thanks you i love it

Wheather a Canadian or American and for that matter any allied nations we need...no must remember and honor our vets. As a Christian, if we follow Jesus Christ we're to promot non-violence and fight, if you will to stop war, but we always need to honor our vets. They have given us the freedoms that we should cherish. Thank you Terry

Thank You.

A friend sent me your link to "A Pittance of Time". I cried and my heart was sincerely thankful for all those who "paid" for my freedom. THANK YOU for these "two minutes of time".
Nila in OKC

You have amazing talent Mr. Kelly. Thank you so much for writing this song because I think every word in it is true and that the soldiers do deserve those two minutes. I had a big part of my family in the war and i think that this song exepreses many peoples' feelings. Thank you so much!!

Terry,
I'm not sure how you do it but you have the most increadible talent! I listened to your song "Pittance of time" and it is such an amazing song and video. If I could meet you, I would explain to you how I feel...

Terry.
This song and video is amasing. As a teenager I do see how my friends and fellow peers tend to shove off the fact we have to stand, or how every morning durning our moment of silence, some of them speak. And durning the National Anthem people dont sing or dont really pay attension. After i showed this to a couple of friends. And when it was played at our assembly. Many had fallin silent and bowed there heads. Im only 15 years old but this song is the most amasing song ive Ever heard. It showed me how there are people in the world who just dont care. But through your amasing song and words you showed everyone that it isnt so much as to stand and bow to respect those who fought to keep us free. Thank you very much your an inspiration.

A pittance of time is my favorite Remember Day song . Thank you.

God bless you, sir. Your song and video brought tears to my eyes, and I had both my sons watch and listen. Nov 11 has always been a special day for me because it allows me to honour my father, grandfather,great-grandfather and the rest of my family who have served Canada and before that England.

My cousin Lenny sent me your email and I was very moved. I then got my 9yr old daughter Jasmine to sit on my lap while I played it for her and she said it was special.
It is so moving and gets the message across so well!
My grandad Patrick Earls was gassed in WW1 (thankfully survived)but his younger brother Denis was killed and is buried in France. Your song has inspired me to go visit France!! I think it should be played leading up to remembrance day to remind us all!!! I will be playing it tomorrow as its so special now! and I have ordered your cd's!!
Many thanks!

Hey my dads name is terry kelly tooo!!! haha i think the song a pittance of time is a beautiful song and it inspired many to pay respect for those who died for us! or didnt die, those who went to war for us to have freedom i never understood the war until this song and how sad it is.

What a wonderful tribute-song to our veterans. It should be mandatory for this song to be played in every Remembrance Day ceremony. Awesome. Just awesome.

Terry: Your video was played for our school Rememberance Day service this year. As a staff, we are constantly trying to teach our students to show respect for the Veterans and Peacekeepers. It was an excellent tribute to the men and women that have given us our freedom.
Thank you.

I am a 61 year old ex-Regular British soldier. I heard "A Pittence of Time" for the first time yesterday and I cried my eyes out!

Sorry it's not going directly to make any money, but, your sng is now being heard for the first time, by friends and relatives in Australia, Chile, the USA and all over the UK by serving and former members of the Light Infantry regiment.

THANK YOU.

my grade mom die in the holocoteand your song made me remember her thans

Hi Terry
One of my old army buddies sent me your video this morning by e mail and i was so touched by the song that i had to find out more about the singer/songwriter.
Being ex forces myself, i have lost some very good friends in conflicts around the world and at this time of year it is very sad when i remember them. Don't get me wrong, i have some fond memories of these men but i did have tears in my eyes when i listened to your song " A Pittance of Time "
Thanks very much for a beautiful song.
Peter (chippy) Wood

Thank you for such a wonderful video. I am deeply touched from the time I first saw it till now; from the time I could not completely understand English till I get used to the English environment. It makes me think not only the veteran in Canada, but also those who died in my country. Your video clip is much more powerful than these text books. Thank you for such a wonderful video. Lest we forget.

Hello, Terry:

Thank you for writing such a beautiful and touching tribute to those who have sacrificed so much so that we may continue to enjoy the ultimate gift - freedom.

Your song, Pittance of Time, is shown at Remembrance Day Services here at our local public school and helps to remind us of this sacrifice - LEST WE FORGET.

I love your song Pittance of Time. No matter your homeland, we should respect those who fought for freedom. Thanks for reminding everyone in such a moving way.

"Pittance of Time" is a wonderful song Terry, it brought tears to my eyes. Also I'd like to thank you for entertainment overseas.

Thank you for a most beautiful song "A Pittance In Time". Lest we forget. God Bless.

Great work Kelly!

I am touched by the story which led to you writing the song "Pittance of Time". We have been pushed by various forces to be constantly moving, nary giving thought to how much we all owe our ancestors.
Thank You for reminding me!

Hey Terry...
My name is Ashley Hampson. I have a military family and have been in cadets for five years.

I just wanted you to know that your sone 'A Pittance Of Time' was very moving to me. Seeing as how I have many members of my family who are, and who have been, in the military for many years the video really touched my heart. I know exactly how it feels for families who have brothers, fathers, sisters, mothers, friends that go overseas to fight for our freedom. At the beginning of the 9/11 attacks my father went to Afghanistan along with many other ships in the Navy for 'Operation Apollo'. It was not the first time he went away, but for the first time I understood what was going on. It was very hard for me and even though this war isn't as major as many of the past wars I was extremely scared for his life. I prayed everynight for my father's safe return, and 9 months later he did just that- alive!

Anyways, the reason I am writing you is because I am a grade 12 student at Auburn Drive High School in Cole Harbour, NS. Today we held a Remembrance Day Ceremony in the gym at our school... The show put on by the grade 11 students was amazing and very touchy. It leapt right into the hearts of the audience. When they played your video I realised how important remembering really is. Sometimes it takes just something small to make you realise how ignorant or arrogant some people can be to the fact that if it wasn't for the people before us, we may not exist today.

I'm not exactly sure how, but you have inspired me today. I was wondering if there is any way that you would be able to come to my school and give a presentation to the grade 12 graduating class of '08... A presentation on going after what you want... inspiration... and never letting petty things stand in your way. I think you would be perfect for this and I am sure that myself, along with much of my graduating class would appreciate this!

Please email me back,

Sincerely yours,

Ashley Hampson

Thank you.

Our family has our own personal hero and his name is "George", a 19 yr. old young man who fought, died and was awarded numerous medals for his personal sacrifies, during the Second World War. Your song, inspirational and profound, brings me to tears, and calls up personal family pride...! Thank you so very much, Terry!!!

This song brings me to tears and back to personal memories... in WW11, my uncle entered service, and with his platoon went to Italy, where they encountered enemy soldiers, in some unidentified field. My uncle, as a child who always brought home abandoned animals, to care for, and who sang in the church choir would come to love a young woman who would become his war bride. He felt it an honor and obligation to fight in a war, to spare those here at home, the ravages that war brings. One cold and rainy day, as the story has been passed on to we children, my uncle, George and his platoon were stationed in a foxhole when the orders came in that they were to engage German soldiers hiding in a nearby trench. As the platoon readied themselves to take action in what seemed to be a situation with a dubious outcome, my uncle took it upon himself to rise up from the fox hole and rush the enemy; as he approached with a live grenade, he was struck down... George was just 19... back at home his young wife had just recently given birth to their first and only child, a daughter, whom he never had the chance to hold or share in the joy of her birth. When my grandmother received what was left of his belongings, she gently searched the pocket of his uniform and brought out a small black and white photo, torn and crumpled, stained with his tears... the picture was of his infant daughter, the only image of her he would ever see. My uncle was awarded the Purple Heart and another medal for bravery, and to this day, his life and sacrifices, makes me proud of my personal hero and of those to this day, who fight the "good fight"... Thank you so very much for your inspirational tribute, Terry!!!

Thank you Terry.....You make it all worth it!

Wow Terry, today i heard your song, and i almost cried. It's so beautiful. it really reminds everyone about all those people who died for us in war. I'm only 11 and that song will always be in my mind.

Thank you very much for sharing your Pittance of Time with all of us. My Dad was a Canadian Navigator who met and married a WAAF while stationed in England. I never miss a Rememberance Day, in fact this Sunday, my family and I are heading home to Kingman, Alberta, where, after the service, I will be showing a DVD that was taken at the base where my Parents met.
We are so proud that our parents served this country and fought for the rights that we have today.
On City TV in Edmonton tonight at 6:30 pm, there will be a documentary on me and one of the veterans that I have helped in finding his pilot. As a hobby, I have reunited over 30 crews that served in Waterbeach, England with RAF 514 squadron. I know my parents would be proud.

Thanks
Terry
A Pittance of Time

your song "A Pittance of Time" was so moving, and heartwarming, and just over all AMAZING Terry!!!! sat and watched it and i cried thinking of my grandfather..thank you for your talent!!!

Thank you for reminding us to never forget the people who fought to make our country a free place and the people who are fighting for us today.

Dear Mr. Kelly

Thank you so much for "A Pittance of Time". To many people forget to respect our vets and those serving today.
Let us never forget those who have fought and died and served and are serving to give us the freedom we enjoy.

I just heard your song and video at a Remembrance Day Assembly at my daughters' school. What a truly touching and inspiring message. Thanks you to all our veterans and to yourself. God bless.

Thank you Terry, for such a wonderful tribute to our veterans of all ages. Every Remembrance Day, I listen to "A Pittance of Time", and thank God for the sacrifices of those who have made it possible for the rest of us to enjoy the greatest standard of free living in the greatest country in the world.

Thank you for writing and recording "Pittance", which is destined become one of the classics of all time. I am a Vietnam-era US Army veteran, and last night after seeing the video, I forwarded it to 3 friends, 2 of whom I served with. This morning I had replies from all of them, stating it was the most moving tribute they had ever seen. God Bless you and the brave people who stand up for freedom. Mike

Thank you! Merci! It was magnificent! C'etait magnifique!

I heared the song at school and i had to find it to show my mother.i loved that song

Thank you so much for "Pittance of Time" I saw it for the first time today 11/09/2007 and it brought tears to my eyes as I thought of all those who have served that we might be free. All who have served the cause of freedom, those who died, those who were wounded,and those who gave a part of their lives to defend us all deserve our respect and thanks. You have expressed that thanks in a wonderful way. May God Bless.

Terry: I see the video of Pittance of Time every year as we approach Remembrance Day. I am one of those who always attend services to honour my Grandfather's contribution at Ypres WWI along with all his fallen brethern throughtout Canada's many conflicts. This year I honour my son who currently serves as a US Army Paratrooper in Afghanistan at FOB Tillman. Your video can be accessed right now on our family website. The family, as a whole, has already lost members in the "War on Terror." Will it never end . . . I fear not but you continue to remind us to honour their sacrifice. Thank you and may God continue to bless you in your work and otherwise. Sincerely, Anne Bell

Terry:
As a retired military man (US Army) I certainly appreciate what you have done with "A Pittance of Time." So often, people live in enjoyment of the freedoms they have, with no thought to where these freedoms come from. May we never forget those who died to provide what we enjoy!

I work as a teaching assisant john stubbs school in colwood.we played your song a Pittance Of time at our rememberance day assembley on friday the 9 nov. Thank you for a beautful song

Hi Terry! I don't know if you recall, but when you were in Nacakwic, NB doing your Atlantic Save Easy Tour in 2004 maybe... I introduced myself to you. At the time I was "Miss Nackawic" and I welcomed you to Nackawic. You then came to the High School to chat with me a bit more! I just want you to know that you made a huge impact, and I appreciate you. I also appreciate your song, "Pittance of Time" because I celebrate Remembrace Day and I LOVE and Support our Canadian Troops. I travelled overseas to Afghanistan last December to sing for a bunch of the troops there. It was so humbling. If there's anyway you can put me on a mailing list or something for your upcoming news, that would be great! Thanks for being here Mr. Kelly.

Thank you for your gift of music. I am having trouble finding your CD's

You have written a most remarkable song " A PITTANCE IN TIME " it made me want to cry, I'm now trying to buy youR CD. Thank you Ken..

As an Active Duty Soldier in the US Army and a Canadian Veteran, I just wanted to say "thanks" for saying what most of us can't. And for helping people understand why we do what we do!!!

While checking e-mail this morning, a friend sent me your"Pittance of Time" video honouring our soldiers and veterans. It made think of my in laws who both served in WW2. Your tribute moved me to tears...thank you and God Bless!

As we approach another Remembrance Day, your inspirational song calls us to rally around all our troops, and peace keepers, with a new profound pride and sense of encouragement for all their very many sacrifices. You are truly a wonderful and insightful individual who can move us to tears... Thank you so very much, Terry!!

Terry Thanks so much for your song. I heard it for the first time today. This year's Remembrance Day will be richer and more meaningful because of it. My father was wounded while liberating Holland after D-Day. My Father-in-law was a navigator on the Liberators, and my uncle was a Spitfire fighter pilot with the RAF. Our son will graduate from Royal Military College (Kingston) as an officer in 2 years and your song really hit home as you sung about the current contribution of our "PeaceKeepers" Our Bosnian friends here in Calgary have nothing but respect for the men and women of the Canadian Forces. Again thanks for the wonderful and inspiring song and story...

Terry, this year at our Rememberance Day service we played your song "A Pittance of Time" for a second year. It really touched me this year, because I am finding that many of the children that we are teaching today really need much more help to learn respect and citizenship. In a time when it is cool to be disrespectful, use tough talk, and big words. Where parents are often out of touch with what is appropriate for children to be exposed to (violence and crude language), I am happy to see that there are those of us who still believe that we have important values and customes that are worth passing down. We have good people who serve and protect us, or have fought to give us the rights and liberties that make this country great. Your work inspired me to continue teaching these values even when it often feels like an uphill battle. Thank you.

Dear Terry I heard A Pittance of Time for the first time today and it brought tears to my eyes. It is beautifully sung. It will have a lasting effect on me. thankyou

The second time I heard a Pittance of Time, I started to cry because it's sad to hear your song.

The second time I heard a Pittance of Time, I started to cry because it's sad to hear your song.

Thank you Terry. A Pittance of Time brought tears to m eyes the first time I heard it last year. I am a High School Teacher in a fly-in FN Community. I use your website along with the Government of Canada Website when teaching about Rememberance Day. Thanks for having had the courage to go to Afganistan too. God Bless you. Thank you for helping us all to remember the sacrifice and courage of so many.

Nothing has moved me as much since the passing of my father in 1996 as the hearing of your song “a pittance of time” for the first time this morning. My father, a decorated WWII RCAF vet, never talked much about the war, even when I begged him as a youngster. Perhaps he did not want to glorify his contribution. He was the humblest of human beings, who loved life and his family. I don’t know if I could have made the same sacrifice as so many young men and women of his time so willingly did. Hearing your song, has helped me bring closure to a decade of grief and sorrow for a man whose life was hard and cut too short, and man who gave it all and asked for nothing in return, a humble soul. Thank You for your contribution.

Mr. Kelly,

In the US, it has become common to "thank a soldier," or to "thank a vet." But is my turn, as a vet, to thank you for not only your wonderful song, but for the sentiments that song represents. As I watched the video, I too wanted to slap the man. But that is not the way to garner respect. I hope the man you heard recognizes himself, and is ashamed of his act that day.

We do not observe the 2 minutes of silence in the States as you do in Canada, but I wish we did.

Thank you.

The first time I saw and heard the song "A Pittance of Time in 2006 I cried and felt relieved that someone has finally brought to light everything that has happened. It also shows how much we need to teach our children and what then can teach us. I truly love this song and my father was very much involved with the Legion and this song was one thing that he enjoyed listening to it after he suffered a stroke and was unable to speak but could tap his feet and then he passed away. This song is very special in more ways than one for my family. Please keep up the great work and keep on dreaming.

Thanks

Mr. Kelly I have seen this music video more than once and did not realize you had a guestbook. As mother of a young Captain who gives of his life to protect us and answer the call to arms I pleased to to see someone remembering those who have gone before and paid the ulitmate sacrifice. Lest we forget..may we always remember those who have fallen. The veterans we still have with us and today's young men and women who will be tomorrow's veterans. Bless you Bernadette Mihalicz

It is amazing how much we take for granted in our live, how lucky we are to live in a great country like Canada. We have such good lives because men and women have given their lives to fight and protect this great nation. It is easy to forget the sacrifices these young men and women made for us. This song “ A Pittance of Time ” is a good reminder to us that on Remembrance Day it only takes two minutes of time.
"All gave some, some gave all"

Dude this is incredible. the song is great and I loved that you based it on a true story. Perfect for remembrance day. Great job! It reminds me of the family I lost and never got to know. To those who gave their lives in the war, I salute you, we ALL do

Mr. Kelly
Your song A Pittance Of Time brought tears to my eyes. Bravo for remembering all the men and women who gave their all for our freedom and way of life

Terry,

I just came across your song "Pittance of Time" while doing research for a Remembrance Day speech I'm giving in a couple of days. I wept as I watched the video created with you in the grocery store. They lyrics so touched my heart, and I want to let you know that your gift of music bestowed upon you has been worth all your hard work just for my own soul to be touched!!! Thank you...

Pastor Brad Diprose

Nice song Terry i cancsee how much efort you put in to this song

Great song! It really is a beautiful song very soft I liked it

the song was amasing. i loved it. there was so much passion and love. no one will ever forget the soldiers who gave their lives for us.

wow, beatuiful song, I loved it. I lost ALOT of family in WW1 and WW2. Thank you very much for your wonderfull music.

My husbands father and my step brother both served. So I pay and give alot of respect to the soldiers.
At my husbands work there is a guy named Ash that said "Rememberance Day is just the government's way to get people to support the war." My husband like you, Terry, wanted to deck him. But he took a deep breath and just told him the way it is. He tried to get him to understand. But you can lead a horse to water but you cannot force them to drink.

It is amazing how some people just do not get the whole thing. And it can be very upsetting and disturbing.

Maybe one day, everyone will understand.

Hello. Recently I spoke with a friend who was organizing a get together for lunch. The date happened to fall on Remembrance Day. I told her that my family could come, but it would be after going to the city's Remembrance Day ceremony. She was very surprised that I would go, even though my father or other family member had not served in either war. She said she had NEVER known anyone to go to a Remembrance Day ceremony - my friend is in her fifties! "We will remember them."

dear terry. thank you so much for such a beautiful and touching rememberance. just a note. my father. Albert, E Sims was a member of the toddmorden branch of the legion , which feature member of this branch in your video. he would have be very proud to have seen his fellow vets in such a beautiful rememberance. mr George Mckenna, one of the vets featured in this video. also was a friend of our family and attended my wedding. again just a thank you for a very touching shot in the arm that we must never forget.

Our fathers, grandfathers, grandmothers, uncles, aunts fought for our rights. That right is to shop on a Sunday IF we choose. Can we all not show our support for these brave men and woman by not shopping on Remembrance Day. Do you really need 365 days to shop? Can you not just show your respect and appreciation for these men and woman on one day a year. What is wrong with our country?

I cried when I saw the video. I work with immigrant women and children. Teaching them our traditions in Canada. This video showed how I feel when I am shopping on the 11th of Nov at 11 o'clock. Many times I have shhhhhhh the people around me and they look at me like what's her problem!
Thank you.....my heart sings this song over and over and many of my relatives whom fought for this country and died for this country thank you too.

A Pittance of Time - Wonderful. I cried my heart out.
Beautiful song. Thank you.

I was sent the video " A Pittance of Time" last year and I kept it to send to others again this year. I watched the video again before sending it...I was deeply moved with the message....AGAIN.

How can anyone really thank all the courageous souls that went to war for our freedoms? Thats just it....there are no words!! I say to you with a deep appreciation and gratitude "Thank You" Terry for your dedication and soul's yearning to make a difference to the world, with your beautiful voice and inspirational message to us all that there were and still are men and women who give their lives so we could have ours.

A friend at work passed on your song - it touched me and I passed it along to others. Thank you for remembering that we are all brothers and sisters sharing this wonderful earth we call our home.

Terry
My son is with 1RCR out of Petawawa and has been in Bosnia and Afghanistan. Pittance of Time really hits home with me because it just says it all!! Thanks so much for capturing the emotional truth for our Soldiers and for those of us wearing the invisible uniform.

I LOVE IT TERRY KELLY IT REMINDS ME OF MY POPPY.
AND I LOVE IT. I AM 7YRS OLD.

Hi Terry, I am writing this on behalf of my little boy who is 7yrs old and his Great Grandfather was in the Korean War and the Second World War. He thought so much of him and when he heard the song A Pittance of Time in brought tears to his eyes. I have actually got to go out and look for the CD for him. Thank you so much for making a beautiful song for those who fought for us. God Bless.

My sister sent me a clip of Pittance of Time, I will hug her later. I was born in Canada but have lived most of my 61 years in New Mexico, I'll always be proud of my Canadian heritage, and hearing and seeing this song made me even prouder of being who I am. Thank you.

Wow, My mother just handed me "A Pittance of Time" and told me to watch it and tell her what I think. You personally gave my father the video in St. Johns airport once, My dad works at 14 Wing CFB greenwood and he invited you to do a show at the mess once when he was the entertainment coordinator. The video is wonderful. I am only 17 year old but I find that a very very small percentage of youth these days pay respect on remberance day. I think it is an extremely important day. I am bringing your video to school tomorrow to see if they will play it on Friday at school when we have our school services.
Great video! Keep it up! :)

I stumbled upon your webpage today. As a US Navy Veteran (1969-1977), I was honored by your song and video "A Pittance of Time." I wish more people felt the way you do, for their Veterans. I can only remember the way we were treated upon coming home after the Viet Nam war, cursed at and spit upon. Thank you so much. Take care and God Bless.

I took my 11 Year 5 and 6 students to The Shrine of Rememberance in Melbourne last Monday. We had an incredible visit with a sensational tour guide who was a VET from Vietnam. My students and I learnt so much during our two hour educational program, however, the only time I was moved to tears was when I watched your music DVD, A Pittance of Time. Thank you Terry you have created a message that is not only incredibly moving but also packs a huge punch to those adults who have never thought of the sacrifice and service by so many in the past. My mission now is to purchase a copy of your music DVD and use it every year before our Remembrance Day assembly at school.

Proud that you are Canadian.

I am a middle school teacher and have used the video of A Pittance of Time since it was sent to me. Too many of our youth have lost a connection to the significance of remembering. Your video and song has helped me to instill in them that respect and honour do matter. As I have occasionally had students in my classes who have a parent serving in the Armed Forces, they attest to the fact that we should never forget. Thank you for helping to make this happen.

Hey Terry I was doing a Rememberence Day project for school and the teacher show us your video "It's a Pittance of Time" and I thought it was really touching. I also watched the rest of your videos and they were great. Keep up the good work Terry.

Hey Terry, I love your songs, you rock. I especially like A Pittance of Time.

hey there terry was at my school last year. Just wanted to say thank you you rock

Many many thanks from an Air Force vet. What happened to the war to end wars? It still goes on. Thanks again.

Sir, thank you for writing and recording "A Pittance of Time". I am a Nam Vet who honors those who have fought and have fallen. Your song is an inspiration and I will forward it to all the Vets. I know........
Semper Fi, my Friend......and thank you again.

Oh my goodness, a Pittance of Time - amazing - the song conjures up everything. Lest We Forget.

words cannot express the feelings that come out when hearing your music...especially pittance of time..You were put on this earth for a purpose...and it's very plain to see what a remarkable job you're doing. Thank you

Hi Terry, I am a 26 year old male and i lost many family members in WW1 and WW2....I happened to stumble across you song for the first time on a friends online blog....I have not cried this much in a long time. Your Song is absolutely beautiful and extremely moving. I am very proud that you were able to keep your tongue quiet for those 2 minutes and I completely understand you wanting to strike him. I cant believe sometime show dis-respectful people can be to our heritage, freedom and customs.

Thanks once again for an amazing piece of art.

Mr. Kelly - Your song/video was sent to my wife and she passed it on to me. I have watched it several times over the years and it never ceases to bring a tear to my eye. I have taught elementary school for over 30 years, and I started using your song and video as part of our Remembrance Day lessons and ceremony. I have never seen 12 and 13 year old children so quiet and mesmerized by a video and song. And the silence lasts well after the video is finished. It generates discussion and questions and they all want the website so that they can access the video to show their parents and send to their friends. I myself have sent it, and continue to do so, to everyone I know.
Every time I listen to it, it's one of those moments that takes my breath away. I finally had to find out more about the song and you, the singer. After checking it out, you have another fan.
Thank you!

I first heard you sing about 25 years ago at the Wagon Wheel in Shannon Park. You were amazing then, and still are. Thank you for your music.

Great evening at the Chief of Defence Staff Gala. Thank you very much. You made the night that much more special with your music.

Terry - my dad is 89 and now in a nursing home - how I wish he could hear your songs - they would warm his heart as they have warmed mine. Thank you.

your song A Pittance Of Time rocks keep up the good work! I know youll do great!

Your song for the VETERAN'S is wonderful. I work with the VETERAN'S for a living and let me say, if you heard some of their stories, you would be heartsick. They truly deserve all that life has to offer them in return for their sacrafices for us. Your other songs are beautiful also.

Just heard A Pittance of Time for the first time...I don't know how to express how moved I was by the song both the words and your performance. Bless you for this song.

I am abashed to say that I am unfamiliar with Terry Kelly's work, an oversight I intend to rectify.

What brought me here was stumbling over 'A Pittance of Time' and, as the daughter and grand-daughter of veterans who cherishes the gift that they gave, I can only say a deep and heartfelt thank you.

Apittance of time ( very appropriate )

The title and the lyrics are so true. No matter where I am or what I am doing at 11:00AM on Nov 11. I stop for my 2 minutes of silence. My father was a WW11 Vet. I can't even imagine the hardship he went through. He never spoke much about the war only when he had a few drinks I am sure it was something he didn't want to remember. We have all those war vets to thank for our freedom. All new canadians should thank them even more, if it wasn't for them they wouldn't have this beautiful country to immigrate to, and enjoy the freedom, the reason why the came here to make this their home. I will not stop short to tell them this, in memory of my father and the other vets, who laid their life down for this wonderful country.

you have a really good talent and i love how you make songs about the wars and not us you voice for rap and rock but to let you now you have two fans seting at home so dont stop sing about war please :)

Ihave just been sent your video of 'A Pittance
