On November 11th, in particular, and on occasion throughout
the year, we have the opportunity to remember the efforts of those special Canadians. In remembering, we pay homage to those
who responded to their country's need. On November 11th, we wear poppies. We pause for two minutes of silent tribute, and
we attend commemorative ceremonies in memory of our war-time dead.
One day every year, we pay special homage to those who died in service to their country. We remember brave men and women
for their courage and for their devotion to ideals. We wear poppies, attend ceremonies, and visit memorials. For one brief
moment of our life, we remember why we must work for peace every day of the year.
