My Reflection on Remembrance Day
The first thing I do is I remember the fallen.
I’ve lost a number of friends and colleagues
over the years, some to accidents, some from
natural causes and I remember their service
and what they brought to the table and how
they made the world a better place.
That’s the first thing that goes through my head.
From my vantage point I have a clear view of
the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier.
And I also remember those that I don’t know,
never knew and the fact that many of them
gave their lives in anonymity to all but their
very close loved ones but yet it’s made
Canada such a wonderful place.
For many of the people who live in this
country they have no concept of the hardships
that still exist in many corners of the world and
I'm very thankful that they are ignorant
of those things. So I remember, you know,
that the road to get to the peaceful country that
we enjoy today was not an easy one,
it was built on the sacrifices of many.
