Lest We Forget #RemembranceDay
Today we remember. We remember our fallen soldiers and we remember each and every one of their sacrifices at home and abroad. This Remembrance Day is a little different, a little more real, a little closer to home given the October 22nd Ottawa Shooting in which Corporal Nathan Cirillo died and the killing of Warrant Officer Patrice Vincent in Quebec two days earlier.
Growing up, Remembrance Day was often met with stories of our classmates grandparents who had fought in the wars. The world has since changed. There are now thousands of our young men and women serving abroad in our armed forces. This year’s Remembrance Day ceremonies will mark 100 years since the beginning of the First World War. We will join our fellow Canadians in observing a moment of silence at 11 a.m., marking the day and hour of the end of hostilities in that war in 1918. Lest We Forget.
