Journal #11 - Remembrance

Friday will be our annual Remembrance Day ceremony. How important is this day to you? How important do you think it is that as Canadians we set aside a day of Remembrance each year?

Do you have a sense of appreciation or gratitude for the many Canadians who have served or continue to serve in the armed forces in order to preserve and defend our way of life? Do you know anyone who has served, is serving or plans to serve in the armed forces? What stories have they shared? How closely have any of the recent conflicts in which Canada has been involved touched you? (e.g. has anyone in your family, circle of friends or community served over seas?) . Have you seen any films that you feel do a good job of portraying the difficulties that soldiers face? (e.g. The Hurt Locker). If you answered 'yes', to the last question, what did you learn from or think about the film(s) you saw?
