    I often wonder how many people know that Canadians Soldiers ( not Americans, Brits, French or Australians) took "Vimy Ridge" after 4 DAYS. The English and French had fought the Germans for over 2 years and the most either side got was a few yards here and there. It was the battle that many believed was the Birth of our Nation as it was the first time the 4 Canadian Divisions fought as one. The cost to us was high with over 10,000 soldiers dying or wounded. Yet, it was a defining moment as, for the first time, Canada emerged from under the shadow of Britain. In 1922, with thanks from France, Canada received 200 acres of land in perpetuity and it is where the most exquisite Monument to our war dead is built (right on top of the ridge that the Germans held) and on the Monument, it is written, in French & English "To the valor of their countrymen in the Great War and in memory of their sixty thousand dead this monument is raised by the people of Canada." It took 10 years to build and was dedicated by King Edward VIII in 1936. Lastly, "In Flanders Fields" one of the best known poem sung or read during Remembrance & Memorial Day all over the world was written by Lieutenant-Colonel John McCrae who was a Canadian physician who was a medic during WWI. He wrote this memorable poem on May 3, 1915, after presiding over the funeral of friend and fellow soldier Alexis Helmer, who died in the Second Battle of Ypres. Canada has much to be proud of, not only in past wars but it is also the Country that started the Peace Keeping Troop, in the 1950's at the Panama Canal.. As the song says, " And the solders cried "Oh Canada I'd die to keep you free", which I would gladly do. I love Country so very much. Lest we forget!!!

    I'm an American living in Canada with grandfathers and a dad who served in the US military. This song always gives me chills. No one can say that Canadians aren't as patriotic as Americans. Anyone who does needs a kick in the shins.

    I am proud to be Canada.Thank you, Canadian soldiers. You keep fight for our country, we will never forget. You know those 97 people who disliked? Apparently they are angry little 12 year olds who do nothing but play CoD and think violence, shooting, and terrorism is a joke. Thank you for reading this...

    My great grandfather was in WWII, he was an aircraft mechanic as well as a soldier, although he did not die in the war, in which I am great-full for this as I was able to meet him, he has since passed, and it's videos and memorials like this that brings my pain for him back, it was him who inspired me to become an air cadet with the Canadian Department of Defence, and him who inspired my love for aircraft, and greater respect for those lost in battle. Rest in Peace all who fought, Rest in Peace Grandpa.

    Remembrance Day is about remembering the soldiers who killed and died.
    In both World Wars, Canadian soldiers rallied to the calls of King George V and King George VI to protect the British Empire. They fought under the Union Flag and the Red Ensign. They did not go their to protect "freedom" or "democracy". They went to protect the Empire, which means the land, the people, the culture, the laws, the values, the King and the honour.
    God Save our Queen and Heaven Bless the Maple Leaf Forever.

    Never, ever, ever will the brave sacrifices of the men of Canada be forgotten by the motherland. We in the United Kingdom will always hold a special place in our heart for all those men of the British Empire and the Dominions/Commonwealth who twice came to our aid in the fight against great evil. The Canadians showed their steel and their courage at Vimy Ridge above all else, the rightful birth of a new and great nation.
    Thankyou people of Canada.

    We are too far removed from the lessons of the past. Most of us have no idea of what true hardship and bloodshed are like. Most have no idea what Pillars our soldiers are and how they are the thin Wall between us and re-learning those lessons. Blood, sweat, tears and the Hardship of the few are the Shield for the many. The shield that most never even notice. I hope that there will never be a time again when they will be forced to notice that Shield, and Fear its failure... God Bless the Few!

It is too bad some sad soul had to desecrate this video with his disrespectful comments. Less than 1% of a nations populace serve their country. There will always be those haters who have a right to voice their hate, a right available to them due to the sacrifice of their fellow citizens. God bless Canada.

One of my teachers has a son who attended and only one person (the nicest girl I know) came up to him and shook his hand, crying her eyes out while thanking him. That moment made me tear up and I'm tearing up right now just typing it. Lest we forget.

From canada and abroad if you disrespect the people who have given their lives and those who are still overseas fighting, or defending their homeland, there is something wrong with you. Remember: to ensure freedom, all gave some and some gave all. Lest we forget.

    Before I joined the military, I never truly felt remembrance day like I do now, now I understand what remembrance day is all about. When a fellow soldier loses their life overseas it seems to hit harder now, makes me wonder "What if that was my friend, or me?" The bond we have is hard to explain, best way is to say we are just one big family.
