Remembrance Day, November 1 lth Each year we read littie notes in flhc papers written by students who teil what if imeans to them. Weil 1 arn not a student. 1 like mnany lived through thei 2nd "Great War" and lived with others who foughît in fihe lst Great War". The war faught ta end ail wars. 1 was broughit up by a young mani who foughît in this war. This mani camne back minus an armn and scars to show how close hie came to death. 1 have miemaries of attending War Amp conventions and picnics, where evcry man] now in thecir 20's or early 30's had arrns or legs rniissing. These men did flot wish to talk about what had happenied and if asked, shrugged if off with the answer, I was iftic wrong place at the wrong timec. Then in my teens, along came the 2nd World War, again ail the young men joined up and went off to fight for their country and for peace. At first this was a great tinie for ail the young womcen, young-Iý men came from ail parts of this country and rnany other countries, to train to fight and to fly flic planes. Then one day you were rudely broughit to reality, the boy you went ail through school with had his picture in tie paper undcrneath it read, "Killed in Action". The neigbbour down the street, received a telegramr telling of the deatb of one of bier sons andi you wondered if the other two sons would ever comne home. A girlfriend who mnarried ber childhood sweethecart shortly before hie went overseas, gave birtb to a baby boy and before die baby was 2 mnonths aid she leamned that this little boy would neyer get flhe chance ta see his GM wins equity award Genieral Motors of Canada bas recceived a national award f'or its country-wide ernploymecnt equity plan. GMN was one of eighit comnpanies across Canada to be recognjized bhy [thefederal go\vcromencit.

The news that a boy you had dated, went down with ah bhis crew and was listed as "Missing, believed killed in action", tbe anxiety that bis parents and. al wbo knew him, went through, until ncws was received that be was a prisoner in Germany. The yaung man who deligbted in puiling pranks on his friends, he tried 3 tirnes ta get in the arrny and was always sent home because he was toa yaung, finally' made il an bis' 4th try. He bad bis l8th birthday an board ship, hcading ta Italy. 11e came back with a silver plate in bis bead and became a quick tcmpered, morose mnan wbooanly lived ta bc 42. These are same of the memaries that came back every Rernembrance Day, I am sure that most people have similar mnemaries. My hope is that my children and their children do flot have ta live with memories like these. 1 believe tbat tbe children of today and tornorrow sbould be taught whatwent on in the past and learn ta pay respect ta these young men wbo-neyer got the chance ta grow up and become fathers and active members of communities, and to those who did corne back changed forever. As these men got aider, some were able ta break their silence and sp eak of what they went through. War is flot a giorious battle ta be fougbt, it is a lifetime of memaries, for those who survived.
