Movember Day 11: Lest we forget

Rather than a Movember blog entry about my 'stache I thought I would send a heartfelt thank you to all the men and women, including my own father, that served or are serving in Canada's military. Veteran Affairs Canada puts it in terms that helped me to understand why it is important to remember:

"By remembering their service and their sacrifice, we recognize the tradition of freedom these men and women fought to preserve. They believed that their actions in the present would make a significant difference for the future, but it is up to us to ensure that their dream of peace is realized. On Remembrance Day, we acknowledge the courage and sacrifice of those who served their country and acknowledge our responsibility to work for the peace they fought hard to achieve."
