I'm going to a Remembrance Day service at a local cenotaph today. At 11:00 we will stand in silence, honouring the memory of our war dead quietly, reverently. And tonight at dusk, church bells throughout the city- and in many other cities- will toll 100 times to mark each year of the century which separates November 11, 1918 and November 11, 2018. However many years pass, may we never forget the sacrifices made which shaped our country and secured our liberty. Freedom is never free.
We deck with fragrant flowers
Yours has the suffering been,
The memory shall be ours.
- Henry Wadsworth Longfellow
