Remembrance Day 2015 - Celebrating and Remembering their sacrifices

We're just a few short hours away now! Later tonight, at 11:00pm sharp, I will be posting my poem "A Noble Death" for your viewing and reading pleasures. Five years after it was written, this poem will finally make it's official online and public debut.

Today, as we celebrate and commemorate Remembrance Day 2015, and Canada is currently celebrating its 148th birthday, and as we celebrate 100 years since the famous poem "In Flanders Fields" was written by John McCrae; we take time to pay tribute, remember, pray, and think about all the sacrifices made so that we could be alive and enjoy the freedoms and everything we have today. Freedom we sometimes take for granted, and freedom that some don't appreciate.

So, to all the Canadian military; veterans past present and future, thank you for everything you do for us and for this great country. To soldiers who have passed on, and to the ones that are still alive today, we appreciate you and all that you've done for us. You will never be forgotten. "Lest We Forget."

Remembrance Day ceremonies were held all across Canada, and across the world.
Today I was proud to be part of a special Remembrance Day assembly, which clearly had a lot of time hard work and effort put into it. This morning was wonderful and, I even got to meet someone special!
