Today is Remembrance Day in Canada. Armistice Day in others. Today, at the 11th hour we will all stand silent to remember those who gave their life for our country.
1 million Canadians fought in WW1. At a time when the population of Canada was only 8 million.
67,000 died.
Thousands more died in WWII, Korea and in conflicts around the world.
Remember them today. And honour by working towards a world when their level of sacrifice will never again be needed.
Please, read about my pilgrimage to the battlefields of France.
I should some day like to go visit those same battlefields. Just as one should visit the Anne Frank House and Auschwitz.
I have some comments on memories from my travels in Europe over at http://www.tblog.ca. Rememberance takes different forms…
