Lest We Forget

Today is Remembrance Day here in Canada, a Day to remember and never forget our soldiers, those who fought and died, and those he fought and came home. 1 Day a year, to Remember but yet it seems to go in the blink of an eye, and I wonder continually if anyone does Remember because we're still fighting, we're still out there helping our Allies keep peace. I think it's a struggle that will go on forever. It's not something that will "never happen again" Almost every country in the world knows that the US is at war, but does everyone remember that Canada is there too?
Canada is trying to put the country back together? It reminds me of those strip mining agreements. You can go into the hole and get your Coal, Uranium, salt, diamonds or whatever is in there, but you have to fix the hole after you're raided it? If you take stuff out of the hole will you ever be able to find enough stuff to fill the hole up again? No there will always be the less stuff to fill up the hole, you can't create more dirt, or rock, that stuff took millions of years, for the stuff you took out? I don't know that any country will be able to live the same again after a war. They will not have the people they had before, they are dead. We will not have the people we had before, we will not have the same buildings.
I want to say Thank you to any one who has worked to keep my country safe. I hope we can continue to Remember what we have each and everyday. I pray that those fighting will come home safe and sound, and those teaching peace will have active learners.
