The Importance of Remembrance Day

I haven’t missed a Remembrance Day ceremony since 1953, a year before I joined the service.
I went to one in Halifax and look my heart was not here, it was in my throat and I go to them every year. Every year, I’ve led the parades. I’ve been sergeant at arms at the Legion and a 51 year legion member continuous service. I was a past vice-president, 2nd vice, 1st vice. I’ve been service officer with the Legion and I do a lot of work with them. I’m proud of it, not bragging but I’m proud of it because I believe in it and November 11th, I wouldn’t miss one.
