“Remembrance Day Memories”
Today, I want to share and
explain what was my feeling and my thought about this memorable day and how was
my path. First of all, the appointment was at City Hall. The celebration
started with a beautiful Canadian veteran´s procession and I could appreciate
in their faces the pride, the courage and love for our country. At the same time, I had a lot of questions in
my head, such as what is the history and meaning of this? Maybe, they lost their
best friends or maybe they saw much a lot of pain. After that, I sang our Canadian hymn. Today,
I can feel and understand the meaning and power of each word. Finally, I went
to the concert at St James Catholic Church and all the songs were very sad. I think
it is very important to recognize not only in Remembrance Day our Canadian
veterans, we should also recognize every day and show them our gratitude to
fight for everything, who gave us the most valuable felling “our freedom” which
we enjoy today and forever.
If you do not know how to remember and honour our Veterans. I will give
you some ideas.
- Wear a poppy.
- Attend your local Remembrance Day ceremony on
November 11th. Really, it is a beautiful experience.
- Thank a Veteran by sending a postcard.
- Talk with them and learn about their experiences.
- Plant your own Garden of Remembrance.
- Not forget to see “Passchendaele” the movie. It will give you a different view about this celebration and remember “We shall not forget them”.
