Lest we forget.....

As the years go by, fewer veterans of the wars Canada fought in will still be alive. As they pass on, their stories about the battles they valiantly fought, the people they liberated, the comrades they lost, will themselves be lost forever. As the beneficiaries of those battles, we owe it not only to them, but to ourselves to help their stories live on. Take the time to meet a veteran and hear their story, so that it may continue to remind us of the sacrifices made and so that we can become a living testament to their bravery. Remembrance Day is nothing... without recalling those events and understanding their significance. ~Karl Plesz SSM CD

I guess it's time that Canada starts investing in some more wars; lest we find ourselves with a war veteran shortage in the years to come.

I'm thinking that our involvement in Afghanistan secures our supply for quite some time. But back to your comment. Invest in some wars? Canada? Surely you jest...
