June 6, 2012 - 69th Anniversary of D-Day is a day to remember outstanding service to Canada
The heroism and bravery of Canadian and Allied troops on this day in 1944 led to the eventual freeing of France from the Germans. Less than a year later the Germans surrendered, the Japanese surrendered in August, and on Sept. 2, 1945, World War II ended.
On this day we remember the brave Canadian soldiers from World War II who fought for the freedom we enjoy today.
Every time the need arises, Canadian soldiers 'stand on guard' for Canadians and put their lives on the line to ensure our continued freedom. Whether it is World War I, the Afghanistan War, Iran, or other wars, they have held the peace, fought for us, and many have been injured or died.
Whatever your service has been, past or current, today we honour all of the men and women who serve or have served in a Canadian uniform. We will always remember.

We All Remember
November 11.
We all remember. It was the day we all actually stayed silent for a moment in school, remembering the soldiers who fought for our country.
At the time, those soldiers were often not known to us and their faces not familiar. But we knew from our teachers and parents the incredible significance of honoring their service.
November 11: Remembrance Day. Veterans Day. Armistice Day.
Around the world it has different names, but the day is the same and the purpose also the same. The day is seen as the end of World War I, which ended on this day in 1918.
Today, it is as powerful as never before. We honor those who served Canada in World War I and other wars our country was involved in, and also we honor the soldiers whose faces are now familiar - those from the Afghanistan war. Our brothers, boyfriends, husbands, sons and fathers are among the faces who fought for our country and the Afghan people. Some of them have not come home, sacrificing themselves for the cause they believed in.
We remember them today - those serving currently and those who served in the past - and thank them all for their incredible service to Canada.
We pray for the continued safety of all soldiers serving in the Canadian military. May they take comfort in knowing how grateful we are for what they do.
