REMEMBRANCE DAY

Image by: PeterAnthony Photography

Canadians pause today in a silent moment of remembrance for the men and women who have served, and continue to serve our country during times of war, conflict, and peace. We honour those who fought for Canada in the First World War (1914-1918), the Second World War (1939-1945), and the Korean War (1950-1953), as well as those who have served since then. More than 1,500,000 Canadians have served our country in this way, and more than 100,000 have died. They gave their lives and their futures so that we may live in peace.  To all the brave Canadians that served, and to continue to serve around the world ... thank you.  Words cannot express how fortunate we are to live in such a safe, just, and peace filled country.

Many of the rights and freedoms that we still have today as photographers in various parts of the world, are a direct result of those who served and continue to serve our respective countries. To all the veterans and their families ... thank you.
