great war the war to end all wars in tlietrenches on the seas in the air have grown older with the passing of time we also mark their passing their contri butions so firmly a part of our history the day will come when the last war hero is buried we must ensure his stories and the stories of his comrades do not fade it is critical our children and their children understand the magnitude of our veterans contribution to the world that without their efforts we would not enjoy the freedoms we enjoy we would not have the society we have if they had not stood firm against the enemy on the beaches of normandy in the skies over europe in the streets of italy in the fields of holland we would not be who we are today 7- proud free canadians especially in the face ofour hew enemy ter- rorism we must understand and embrace our brave history we can take pride in the efforts of f fathers and grandfathers who answered a call to duty and served us well- we can demonstrate the same kind of brav- 1
