Every November 11, we pause in a silent moment of remembrance for the men and women who served our country during wartime.
We honour those who fought for Canada – in the First World War (1914-1918), the Second World War (1939-1945) and the Korean War (1950-1953). More than 1,500,000 Canadians served overseas — more than 100,000 died.
They gave their lives and their future so that we may live in peace.
They shall grow not old; as we who are left grow old;
Age shall not weary them, nor the years condemn.
At the going down of the sun and in the morning
We will remember them.
