Lest We Forget

Whenever it's this time of year, I don't know how I feel about everything. I guess I'm in the middle. Half of me is sad because of the fact that millions of Canadian soldiers passed away serving for our country, the other half of me is happy because without them, our country wouldn't be how it is today. They fought for our freedom, which has made us a one if the countries with the most freedom. Thanks to them, we are known as a peacekeeping country. Because of them, we no longer need to be afraid of having to live in a time like the World Wars.

Tomorrow my heart goes out to those who fought for Canada, those who fought for Canada and passed away, and those who had a family member who passed away while fighting for Canada. I honestly can't believe the pain the family members had to feel....... Not being able say goodbye to their loved ones before they passed away. Life must be hard for them, but they should be proud to know that they died happy, serving for our country, dying for our country, and dying for our freedom.
