Lest We Forget
Originally published November 11, 2009
A note of thanks this Remembrance day to all of our Veterans, for all that they have done for us in all of our wars.
In Canada and many commonwealth countries, Remembrance day is celebrated through memorials, and by wearing the poppy on our lapel. The poppy symbolizes our war dead, and is immortalized in the famous poem “In Flanders Field”, written by Canadian army Doctor Lieutenant Colonel John McCrae.
