friesman Posted November 11, 2009 #1 Posted November 11, 2009 As tomorrow is Nov 11, Canada's Remembrance Day I would like to remind everyone to please take 2 minutes for a moment of silence when it turns 11am in your area to remember all that have given their lives to make our lives and country so wonderful. Here is a video about Canada's Highway of Heroes. It really is a heart string tugger when you see everyone that turns out to honour Canada's fallen soldiers.

Aussie Annie Posted November 11, 2009 #3 Posted November 11, 2009 11th Hour-11th Day-11th Month(also Australia Rememberance Day) I stood for those who stood for us--and proud to do so
Oldseadog Posted November 11, 2009 #4 Posted November 11, 2009 I've tried several times to watch the highway of heros video but can never make it through. I can never forget. I get choked up everytime I even think about my brothers. In the last few years I have gotten closer to my uncle than I ever thought I would. Ivan was a part of the liberation of Holland. The military is our bond.

Gary N. Posted November 11, 2009 #7 Posted November 11, 2009 Visited my 90 year old dad today at his nursing home. He was in the Royal Canadian Ordnance Corps in WW II '39 -'45. I was proud to attend the service today with him. The first time in my life I've been able to do that.
Monty Posted November 11, 2009 #8 Posted November 11, 2009 I am proud to have you guys as neighbors...and allies!! Thanks for being by our side and fighting with us. Salute!
Renne Posted November 12, 2009 #9 Posted November 12, 2009 Thank you neighbor! We fight the "good" fight, may we continue to do so! Renne U.S.A.F. ret.
Sailor Posted November 12, 2009 #10 Posted November 12, 2009 Just got back from our ceremonies. It is very emotional. My dad was in Europe in WWII and my wifes nephew got blown out of an armored car in Afghanistan. I was lucky enough to be between the two. I had to give a speech at the school yesterday. The most effective point I made was that the average age of the people in WWII was 20. Hard to imagine.
Tarl Posted November 12, 2009 #11 Posted November 12, 2009 We owe so much to those folks. It's nice to see the younger people getting involved in the Rememberance Day activities.
autopilot Posted November 12, 2009 #12 Posted November 12, 2009 I can add only my deepest heartfelt thanks and appreciation to our Canadian neighbors and brothers in arms. Rest assured that I will remember....always!
