My elder son, Bertrand de Mes, recently returned safely from the lands of the Middle East where he served our country well.  I wish to thank him for making this and other lands safer places to be, and to let him know we will not forget the sacrifice his friends and comrades made.  They returned far too early, under very different circumstances, and will be sadly missed. 

Hug a soldier (or sailor or airman) while you can.

I have checked out grocery stores (don't carry it any more) and scoured Walmart at the Halifax Shopping Center, and cannot find any rit dye.  Anyone know where I can try next?  I also want to dye a bright, lime green piece of linen to a khaki colour - suggestions on which dyes to use?
