SIGNIFICANCE OF REMEMBRANCE BY LINDA MacDONALD What would you say if I asked you, "Why do we Canadians bother to set aside a day to remember? After all what do we have to. remember? Would you say something like "I don't know," or "Beats me?" I believe that those answers would be quite common if they were asked to the local teenagers,. Now to answer my own questions. First of all, what or whom do we have to remember? Well maybe you and I didn't have anyone dear to us go to war and remain in "Flancers Fields". But, look around you, look at your grandparents, uncles and aunts. Were they robbed of the companionship of their loved ones, e.g. parents, friends. Many members of the Canadian population do remember that awful war that caused grief to a great many innocent people. • So why do Canadians bother to have Remembrance Day? Remembrance Day is a day set aside to remember those men and women who died in 'hope that no more blood would have to be shed. They fought so that we could keep our freedom of religion, freedom of speech and our democratic 'government. They went to bring peace to all nations. We are not only remembering the Canadians who gave their lives but also the men and women of the United States, Russia, England and other commonwealth countries, who fought with us in the fight for peace for ever. I think since millions and millions of lives were given for us, we owe them more than just one day of respect for what they did. They died just for us! WHY I WEAR A POPPY BY DONNA FREEMAN Each day I grow to understand That soldiers fought to save their land, They left behind their families And also left the memories. These men were very brave and strong And hoped the war would not be long. They marched across the land, once free Just to give us liberty. They missed their families - Oh so bad! And all the love that they once had. The . only way their hearts would mend Was when the war was at an end. So 1 wear the poppy, bold and red For all the blood that had been shed. The birds will -gladly sing once 'more In hopes of not another war. r age Works.
