On this very special day we would like to thank and honour all the veterans who selflessly fought, lost and continue to lose their lives for our country; to ensure that we are able to enjoy the comforts and freedoms that come with being Canadian. To help pay respect to those that bravely put themselves in harms way to ensure we have a functioning democracy and that we can raise our children in a country that they can grow to be proud of. A country to which they are provided choice to be who they chose. A country to which they can safely raise a family. The most beautiful country in the world.
Many of us lost sons and daughters, fathers and uncles, mothers and brothers, so that we can live in the peaceful society we now know. Words alone could not express our gratitude and the respect that we hold in our hearts for each person who served, and for those who did not get to come home and enjoy the country they lost their lives fighting for.
They were heroes. They are heroes.
Lest we forget.
The Homecoming
The crowds are cheering as we welcome them home,
A joyful noise of Peace,
With lots of hugs and happiness
The fighting has finally ceased.
Children are smiling and jumping for joy
To see their parents come home
The feeling of love and togetherness
means only peace will be known.
