Since I was not at the Romeo Dallaire assembly or the Remembrance Day service due to being sick, I am going to talk a bit about the meaning of Remembrance Day.
We take many things for granted every day, like the clean water we drink, the food we eat, the clothes on our backs, and the school we go to. The biggest thing, and by far the most imporant, is our freedom. Not every country has the level of freedom that we do here, and things that we take for granted here like stating our own opinion and feeling safe while walking around town are only the hopes of people in other countries. Remembrance Day is an important day for us to look back on how we came to have this freedom and thank all those who have fought, currently fight, or have lost their lives in the name of Canada in order to secure our freedom. We are eternally grateful for the sacrifices these men and women have made, and it is only right to have a day devoted to them.
