It won't, it'll fade.



While I feel its hugely important to teach Canadian History and especially Canada's role in WW1, WW2, Korea and even the various UN missions. Schools are no longer doing more then glossing over Canada's military history, or as one friend told me, ignoring it all together.


As the old vets die, their stories aren't being told anymore.
