How will you remember?

Tomorrow is November 11, 2011. It has been 92 years since the day was dedicated by King George V as a day of remembrance of members of the armed forces who were lost during World War I. One of the many lost during the first World War was Guelph native, John McCrae. Living in Guelph, and working in the former Royal Canadian Legion building, the upcoming day of remembrance has been more prevalent than ever. Not to mention, I'm proud to say that some of my very own family members have served in years past.

How will you remember tomorrow? How will you pay tribute to the men & women that gave up their lives to make our world a better place?

Perhaps, most importantly, what will YOU do to make the world a better place??

Changing the world doesn't need to be some earth-shaking metamorphosis. It doesn't mean that you need to join up and fight for your country. The little things count. And they add up quickly. Are you actively working to be the very best you that you can be?

Be grateful for the beautiful country we live in, and the wonderful freedoms we're so lucky to have. When you remember, also remember those around the world, TODAY - still fighting for the liberties we so quickly take for granted. More than 100 000 Canadians have died in military service; died for this country, their families and for you. I urge you not to let it be in vain.
