I am from a family that was in WW1, WW2, and the Korean war and now have a son who is serving, Remembrance Day has always been a significant day to acknowledge our veterans and the contribution Canada has made toward the good of humanity. We honor them by wearing a red poppy. That is their symbol and for as long as I remember we have embraced it and have worn it with pride. Now it's not politically correct?? What's changed? I bet you can ask any of the veterans or the soldiers who are fighting now, that war is not the answer. I feel our Canadian veterans promote peace. All of the military folk who I have met are all proud of their contribution of fighting for peace and justice. For me it is more of a Patriotic day than Canada Day. Canada is known as a peaceful nation because of who we are and we stand for. After listening to Rick's rant it comes to mind as it does every year.... why we here in BC get this day off to take this time to gather together and take those precious 2 minutes of silence, when you over there in Ontario, the capital of our nation, are working and treating it like any day. That I really don't get!!! Thanks for being on my side :) You’ve given me food for thought Boris, as you always do…and reflecting on November 11th and what it is for me being raised as a “military brat”.

My grandfather Capt. John Ross is a man I never go to meet and my father was only 2 years old when john was killed in battle. It has forever changed the lives of my family. It truly sickens me that we even have to have this discussion and that there are those who have the audacity to question the way that we honour our heros and the fallen. I for one will not forget that we live in the best country in the world and that the freedoms that we so often take for granted every day were a gift. A gift that should be greatly appreciated and remembered. Thank you Boris and well said. My grandfather Capt.

I am proud to honour those who have made sacrifices most of us will never have to dream of making, precisely because others have sacrificed on our behalf. As with any symbol, the symbol itself is not important - only the message the symbol intends. I am wearing my poppy, and remembering. Thank you for the post, Boris.

They were completely unselfish an patriotic beyond words. I worry about the world my children are growing up in. One where such heroism is tossed aside. Lest we all remember!
