Every year on November 11, Canadians pause in a moment of silence to honour and remember the men and women who have served, and continue to serve Canada during times of war, conflict and peace. We remember the more than 1,500,000 Canadians who have served throughout our nation’s history and the more than 118,000 who made the ultimate sacrifice.*****************************************
Some of the 54 Commonwealth member states, such as Canada, the United Kingdom and Australia, observe the tradition of Remembrance Day on the eleventh hour of the eleventh day of the eleventh month.
The poppies monument to made all others superfluous. Also a very nice composition Andy.
ReplyDeleteIt is good to remember the sacrifices all those men made to save others.
ReplyDelete...Remembrance Day is a wonderful way to remember their service.
ReplyDeleteThank you again to all the American and Canadian soldiers who fought alongside France during this war and double thanks to those who lost their lives. It is a beautiful tribute Andy but unfortunately men continue to fight all over the world but often with a very meagre ideal and self-denial as was the case during the last war when freedom and fraternity took precedence over everything else.
ReplyDeleteA great tribute to this special day for those who served with these beautiful photos!
