If you live in Europe, you are frequently reminded of the cost of war as you drive through the countryside. There you will pass the scars of conflict, including the numerous military grave sites that dot across the European landscape.
On Remembrance Day, which falls on November 11th, we in Canada take a moment to pause and to remember all of those who served Canada. We stand and we honour those who fought during The Great War 1914-1921, World War 2 during 1939-1946, the Korean War of 1950-1953, and the War in Afghanistan from 2002-2014. More than 1 ½ million Canadians stood up to serve their country and 113, 050 paid the supreme sacrifice never again to return home to Canada and to their loved ones.
My name is Jim Rutledge, a proud Canadian, the son of a man who fought for this country and I am passionate about our veterans past and present and am expressing my feelings, thoughts and views on what Remembrance Day, November 11th means to me.
