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.
https://www.youtube.com/live/DRbFopbBjM4?t=2595&si=O8pq1VYtypSryGL0
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.

🌺 11. November – Ein Tag des Gedenkens in den USA und Kanada 🕊️
Der 11. November ist in den USA und Kanada ein bedeutender Gedenktag.
🇺🇸 In den USA wird der Veterans Day begangen, an dem alle Veteraninnen und Veteranen der amerikanischen Streitkräfte geehrt werden.
🇨🇦 In Kanada erinnert der Remembrance Day insbesondere an die Gefallenen und die Opfer von Kriegen und militärischen Konflikten.
Beide Gedenktage haben ihren historischen Ursprung im Ende des Ersten Weltkriegs.
🕊️ Der 11. November 1918 – Als die Waffen schwiegen
Am 11. November 1918 wurde gegen 5 Uhr morgens in einem Eisenbahnwagen bei Compiègne in Frankreich der Waffenstillstand zwischen dem Deutschen Reich und den Alliierten unterzeichnet.
Um 11 Uhr – zur elften Stunde des elften Tages im elften Monat – trat der Waffenstillstand in Kraft. Nach mehr als vier Jahren Krieg schwiegen an der Westfront endlich die Waffen.
🌺 Warum die rote Mohnblume zum Symbol des Gedenkens wurde
Die rote Mohnblume erinnert bis heute an die Menschen, die in den Kriegen ihr Leben verloren haben.
Ihr Ursprung als Gedenksymbol geht auf das berühmte Gedicht „In Flanders Fields“ des kanadischen Arztes und Soldaten John McCrae (1872–1918) zurück.
McCrae schrieb es im Mai 1915, nachdem ein Freund im Krieg gefallen war. Er beschrieb die rot blühenden Mohnblumen auf den Schlachtfeldern Flanderns, zwischen den Gräbern der gefallenen Soldaten.
Die roten Blüten wurden zum Sinnbild des vergossenen Blutes, aber auch des Lebens, das selbst an Orten voller Tod und Zerstörung weitergeht.
📜 „Auf Flanderns Feldern“ – Deutsche Übersetzung
Auf Flanderns Feldern weht der Mohn
Zwischen den Kreuzen, Reih’ um Reih’,
Die unseren Platz markieren; und am Himmel
Fliegen die Lerchen noch immer tapfer singend,
Unten zwischen den Kanonen kaum gehört.Wir sind tot. Vor wenigen Tagen noch
Lebten wir, fühlten den Morgen nahen
und sahen die Sonne glühend untergehen,
Liebten und wurden geliebt, und nun liegen wir
Auf Flanderns Feldern.Nehmt auf unseren Streit mit dem Feind:
Von versagenden Händen werfen wir Euch zu
Die Fackel, die Eure sei, sie hoch zu halten.
Brecht Ihr den Bund mit uns, die wir sterben,
So werden wir nicht schlafen, obgleich Mohn wächst
Auf Flanderns Feldern.🌺 Eine ganz persönliche Erinnerung an Kanada
Das Foto mit den leuchtend roten Mohnblumen habe ich vor vielen Jahren in Vancouver, Kanada, aufgenommen, als wir dort einige Zeit gelebt haben.
Die rote Mohnblume begegnet einem in Kanada besonders in den Tagen vor dem 11. November immer wieder. Sie ist weit mehr als eine schöne Blume – sie steht für Erinnerung, für die Opfer der Kriege und für die Hoffnung auf Frieden.
Dieses Foto ist für mich deshalb auch eine persönliche Erinnerung an unsere Zeit in Kanada. 🇨🇦❤️
🕊️ Gerade heute, wo in so vielen Teilen unserer Welt wieder Kriege geführt werden, sollten wir uns daran erinnern, wie wertvoll und zerbrechlich der Frieden ist.

Stories to Remember
Today is Remembrance Day in Canada and Veterans Day in the US. I have to work but Mr Man has the day off and he’s using it to revisit Band of Brothers. At 11:00, we watched the ceremonies on Parliament Hill.
It’s a day to remember those we lost and why. To share who they were, what they accomplished, and what they stood for. How we loved them.
We tell stories to entertain, to understand, to build community, to shape our pasts and our futures.
We tell stories to remember.

These stanzas from Laurence Binyon’s #poem on The Great War are two of the most poignant written in the English language.
“They shall grow not old, as we that are left grow old:
Age shall not weary them, nor the years condemn.
At the going down of the sun and in the morning
We will remember them.“They mingle not with their laughing comrades again;
They sit no more at familiar tables of home;
They have no lot in our labour of the day-time;
They sleep beyond England's foam.” -
On the 11th hour, of the 11th day, of the 11th month, I stopped, and I remembered.

We remember today those who have served, those who are serving.

A day to remember or to forget?
My feelings about Nov 11 are complicated, but the thing that's been at the forefront of my mind in the last few years is how Remembrance Day has become less contextualized in the human tragedy and disaster that was ww1 and more and more a right-wing vibe-check for Nationalism.
Remember those who died for the greed and imperialist bloodlust of their Kings & Queens; to serve a class that sees them as less than the dirt upon which they are born. #remembranceday

To all who served, thank you. Today, PHAN honors veterans and remembers those who never came home. May remembrance inspire ongoing care for those living with the lasting effects of service.

My grandfather John MacDonald's Brodie helmet from World War I. he enlisted in the Canadian Expeditionary Force in August 1915. He was assigned to the 92nd Battalion and sailed from Halifax in May 1916. A telephone lineman by trade, he was sent to Fance as part of the Signals Pool, then in April 1917 – a few days after the battle of Vimy Ridge – he was assigned to the 4th Canadian Divisional Signals Company. He served in that Company for the duration of the War, returning to Canada in May 1919 and being discharged a few days later in June.
Also attached is a photo of my grandfather (on the left) and one of his comrades taken in Mons in 1918, after the War’s end.
