On the 11th hour of the 11th day of the 11th month of this year please be sure to pause and reflect on the sacrifices made by the courageous men and women of our Canadian Armed Forces. We would not enjoy the freedom, prosperity and self-determination we do today if they had not given their lives in armed conflicts throughout history.
We owe our fallen heroes our unbound gratitude, love and reverence. Honour their memory on Remembrance Day by wearing a poppy and encouraging everyone close to you to do the same.
Express thanks to the active and retired service women and men in your space for safeguarding our nation’s sovereignty. Let them know how grateful Canadians are for their selflessness, bravery and patriotism. Let them know they are treasured.
Lest we forget.
