CBC News has a great article up to remind us WHY this day is important for us all. This day will always remind me of my grandfather, who was over seas during WW2.

I admire my Canadian brothers and sisters who serve literally the all over the world in some of the worst places solely with the goal of helping establish or preserve democracy and a better life for the people of the places they serve.
May we never forget the sacrifices and what we’ve gained because of them.
It’s important that we never forget these things. For when we do, they have a habit of repeating themselves. 🙁
