A Day to Remember…Less We Forget

by KennyG on November 12th, 2008

Rememberance DayYesterday was Nov 11th, the one day in our country when everyone stops and remembers our people who have paid the ultimate sacrifice for our country.  There were numerous ceremonies that were held throughout the lower mainland, and Canada.

Being a retired vet myself, I am always touched with this time of year.  Especially now, since so many of our trips are currently engaged in Afghanistan. Some of the ceremonies that took place were;

  • First ever 8 plane formation of WWII Navion aircraft
  • BC Lt-Gov presents the memorial address at New Westminster Regiment Armories.
  • A new statue atop the Surret First World War Cenotaph was unveiled.

This is only a small number of the events that took place to honor our brave men and women in uniform.
