Remberance day


















"We must remember. If we do not, the sacrifice of those one hundred
thousand Canadian lives will be meaningless. They died for us, their homes and
their families and friends, for a traditions they cherished and a future they
believed in; they died for Canada. The meaning of their sacrifice rests with our
collectivenational concissonus; our future is their monument."











Every year on November 11, at 11:00am we have two minutes of silence to remember the vetrans who served in the first and second world wars, the Korean wars and any wars since then. We remember those who have given their lives so that we can live in peace with freedom. Many of us don't even realize the hardships that the soilders went through. Some of the closest ideas we have to the wars are old family uniforms or mementos sitting in our attic. When ever war comes to Canada, Canadians are quick to volunteer to fight and preserve our freedom and peace and help other countries get their own freedom.






War always has and always will mean deayh, injury and absence of loved ones. Many people joined the wars through time, boys still in high school, fathers, mothers, aunts, uncles, grandparents and children. It was always hard watching your brother or sister walk off to war knowing that they may never come back. Soilders aren't the only important people in the war. There are also the docters and nurses trying to save their lives so they can return home to see their famalies. Docters and nurses died and got injured too. Armies would invade camps and kill or capture everyone in them. Bombs were exploded on camps. With the doctors gone the soilders have a harder tim surviving and returning home. We should remember any war where people have died or been injured. That could be as far back when wars started in Canada to keep our freedom or gain our herritage. The wars we remember could also be as current as the wars in Afaghanastan right now. We wear poppie on remeberance day to symbolize the poppies that grow in flanders feild wear many Canadian soilders are burried. The money you donate to get one of these poppies goes to vetrans fighting in wars right now. The two minutes of silence ar also quite important for it lets all think in silence of how the vetrans in the war died for us so that we could have the freedom and peace in Cnada today. Know we are trying to help other countries to get the same thing that we have now. There are also many memorials to remember the soilders that have died fighting for us like the unknown soilder.
