Day of Remembrance

In Canada, the USA, and elsewhere, today is a day to remember and honour the soldiers who have fought in the wars. It's important for the families of soldiers; and I think we should recognize those who are serving now. [And what about veterans who have been injured?] At a nearby "Memorial Park" here, there's normally a poem on display which says the soldiers of the past have made their choices and were proud of them. There was a meaning to the effect that we shouldn't grieve the past so much as to live well now with the freedom which was given us.
