Living in Canada,
it is easy to forget that this century has been the most
violent period in human history. More than 1.4 million young
Canadians have volunteered to serve in our military and
merchant navy and more than 116,000 have given their
lives.
As a special
tribute, the Royal Canadian Legion is asking all Canadians
to pause for two minutes of silence at 11 a.m. on
Remembrance Day. Take two minutes to think about war, about
peace and about those who gave up everything for
us....Remember.
