Remembrance Day Quotes
Why do we celebrate Veterans Day?
Veterans Day is a way to honor the people in the military for what they have done and are doing and the sacrifices they have made, including their lives, to ensure our way of life. Whether you agree or disagree with the concept, people in the military have a fundamental belief they are protectors of our country. Put the politics aside and just consider the soldier who doesn’t make much money, get much time off, or is away from his family months at a time. Veterans Day is a way to say “Thanks” to those who have served and are serving.

Veterans Day Quotes 1
“Year after year we gather and shout commands in the Square,
Wait for the Governor-General, say a few words of prayer,
Lay our wreaths in order, mothers and big shots first,
In memory of those who have made it to the other side of the worst.”
– George Johnston, Canadian poet, Remembrance, 1966
