Always Remembered. Never Forgotten.

I’ve been trying to think of how I can convey my feelings about Remembrance Day and the men and women that fought, and continue to fight, for our country, and have come to the conclusion that I honestly don’t think it’s possible to put those feelings into words.

It’s easy for people to sit back and judge what they don’t know. But it’s not easy to face death every day. It’s not easy to see your friends die. It’s not easy to live with the memories of war for the rest of your life. But our soldiers do it. For us. For you.

How do I accurately articulate my respect for the Canadian military? What can I say that will truly express the gratitude that I feel for the men and women that risked, and lost, their lives for Canadians? How can I communicate the hatred I feel for the people who don’t support the troops, who sit in their warm, safe houses and criticize the very people that allow them to live freely?

I won’t even begin to try. All I can say is thank you.


Thank you to the veterans of past Wars.

Thank you to the veterans and active military personnel of the current war in Afghanistan.

Thank you for putting your lives on the line for the people you love.

Thank you for putting yourselves through unbelievable emotional pain so that we don’t have to.

Thank you for fighting and dying for us.

Thank you for our freedom.


Canadians will forever be indebted to you.

Lest we forget.
