As Remembrance Day comes closer once again we are reminded of the losses in which we as a nation have faced in conflict in the Boer Wars, World War I, World War II, The Korean War, a multitude of peace keeping missions and now in Afghanistan.

It is necessary to take a few minutes to recognize the sacrifices that so many of our fellow Canadians have made over the years and to wear a poppy to honour their achievements and to say thank you for a job well done. So please do so by wearing a poppy these next few weeks and do so by wearing it the way in which is was meant to be worn, overtop of your heart. It isn't a fashion accessory, it is a reminder of those who have fallen before and for those whose lives have been irrevocably changed by the hardships of war.

Thank you.

Edit: It was posted in a later post but it is extremely important to donate money, food or time to the poppy fund, the veterans food bank or to the legion itself.
