#lestweforget — Public Fediverse posts

If you would like to see a #RemembranceDay ceremony in Canada. This is the local coverage from the cenotaph in front of the Legislature in Victoria, BC. It has minimal commentary, none during the official parts of the ceremony.

The video starts at 43min, the benediction (given after the last post) was, I think, really nicely done by the padre.

Good story, and words, worth hearing and sharing.

If you would like to see a #RemembranceDay ceremony in Canada. This is the local news channel’s coverage from the cenotaph in front of the Legislature in Victoria, BC. It has very minimal commentary which is nice, none during the official parts of the ceremony.

The video should start at about 43min, the benediction (which is given after the moment of silence, last post, and God Save the King) was, I think, really nicely done by the padre. Good story, and words, worth hearing and sharing.

“When you go home, tell them of us and say,
For your tomorrow, we gave our today”

Pour votre lendemain, nous avons donné notre aujourd'hui." John Maxwell Edmonds (1916)

Its Remembrance Day in Canada. My father was a WWII vet, but gave up going to the Legion, wearing the medals or attending the ceremonies later in life - while saying 'Lest We Forget' had simply become a catch-phrase as after war after war, it clearly meant nothing.

'In Flanders Field' - written in 1915 - is most-often quoted on the day. I'd like to offer a counterpoint to that - published much later in the war, in 1918, and written by another officer of the day. For my father - and just as relevant today.

Today is a good day to remind ourselves of the work done by the Commonwealth War Graves Commission.

The front page of their website has a search box. The scale of loss becomes apparent when you put in your surname.

I cannot remember how many times I've asked this, across many different platforms, forums, etc., since 1998...

WHY ISN'T REMEMBRANCE DAY A STAT HOLIDAY ACROSS THE COUNTRY?!?!? #lestweforget #remembranceday #november11 #cdnpoli #polcan #QCpoli #polQC #assnat
