Every Canadian citizen has a moral obligation to be at a Remembrance Day service tomorrow to hour those who have bravely fought for our freedom, some paying the ultimate sacrifice with their lives. There are no excuses, period. They fought for our freedom despite the cold, the rain, the mud and muck and they were more than likely afraid but they kept on fighting for our freedom and the freedom of this great country, Canada. They missed their families, gave up home cooked meals, going out on dates, and enjoying sitting around a cozy fireplace to fight for our freedom. They gave up fashion, comfy clothes and their own bit of unique private space to fight for our freedom. ON THE ELEVENTH HOUR OF THE ELEVENTH DAY OF THE ELEVENTH MONTH WE WILL REMEMBER THEM!
You owe your freedom to these brave souls so do your civic duty and attend a Remembrance Day service tomorrow. Thank a veteran, visit a veteran in a nursing home, show a veteran you appreciate the sacrifices they have paid so dearly for all for freedom!
Tomorrow I will be attending the Remembrance Day ceremony in my hometown. Yes I have to drive and yes the weather will likely be ugly. Yet I have to be there! Several of my family members paid the price for my freedom, the freedom so richly enjoyed in Canada! I will pay my respects, honouring those who served and those who have fallen. I don't care if it pouring down rain or blizzard conditions, I will be there! In tribute, tomorrow I will once again be posting the video A Soldier Cries Oh Canada on this blog. Let us never forget those who fought so hard for our freedom!
