'Why I Remember'
Every Remembrance Day we remember the soldiers who fought so bravely to save their families and their countries that they had left so long before. Boldly they would dart from trench to trench with shells bursting and guns firing all around them. Even so, they would still trudge on through the smoke, mud, and fire. In Europe during World War I, 68,000 of these young Canadians died. War World II took the lives of another 42,000 Canadian souls.
