Remember Their Sacrifice

11/11/2009

Here we honour those who have
given their lives serving Canada.

November 11, 1918 was marked in history as the end of World War I.  During that war more than 64,000 Canadian men and women were killed in battle. These men and women died so that you and I could have the freedom we enjoy today.  Without the sacrifices of these now faceless heroes, who knows what our world would look like.

More over in 1939 Canada again took its place in World War 2. During WW2 there more that 45,000 Canadian military deaths. Again the men and women of the Canadian Armed forces put their lives on the line so that we could enjoy the freedom that Nazi Germany and their allies were trying to take away.

There have been many more wars since the two so called “great wars,” including the current War on Terror. All of these wars have taken a significant told on Canadian families. And even today, as our men and women fight for the freedom from the oppression of the Taliban, there are Canadian families that receive the bad news that a family member has passed away.  These men and women are heroes in the truest sense of the word.

I don’t know any of these men and women personally, but I do know that they did not die in vain. Far to often we forget about the men and women that came home with permanent injuries, they are our heroes as well.

On this November day in 2008 – we say:

To All Who Fought and Died: WE, IN CANADA, SALUTE YOU!!!

To All Who Fought and Lived: WE, IN CANADA, THANK YOU!!!

The Faceless Heros of Rememberance Day

11/11/2008

I must admit that while I was in school I thought that Remembrance Day was boring. I was always annoyed by having to stand in silence for a minute.

As I have grown up and matured, I have realized the importance of this day in our worlds history. A moment of silence is really not enough to remember these soldiers by.

November 11, 1918 was marked in history as the end of World War I.  During that war more than 64,000 Canadian men and women were killed in battle. These men and women died so that you and I could have the freedom we enjoy today.  Without the sacrifices of these now faceless heroes, who knows what our world would look like.

More over in 1939 Canada again took its place in World War 2. During WW2 there more that 45,000 Canadian military deaths. Again the men and women of the Canadian Armed forces put their lives on the line so that we could enjoy the freedom that Nazi Germany and their allies were trying to take away.

There have been many more wars since the two so called “great wars,” including the current War on Terror. All of these wars have taken a significant told on Canadian families. And even today, as our men and women fight for the freedom from the oppression of the Taliban, there are Canadian families that receive the bad news that a family member has passed away.  These men and women are heroes in the truest sense of the word.

I don’t know any of these men and women personally, but I do know that they did not die in vain. Far to often we forget about the men and women that came home with permanent injuries, they are our heroes as well.

On this November day in 2008 – we say:

To All Who Fought and Died: WE, IN CANADA, SALUTE YOU!!!

To All Who Fought and Lived: WE, IN CANADA, THANK YOU!!!

Below are a list of Canadians who have lost their lives in Afghanistan (97 at the time of writing).
