In the days leading up to Remembrance Day, school children receive lessons in history that tell the story of servicemen and women who have fought for the freedom that we enjoy today. Most are fortunate to have not been touched personally by the tragedies of war but “remember”, nonetheless, those who have made the greatest sacrifice.
I believe it is critical to pay tribute to those who make a deliberate choice to stand for the protection of our rights and freedoms. They are soldiers, their families, the communities and institutions that support them. They are also you and me. We are all tasked, each day, with taking a stand to preserve our culture and our history and to build a better tomorrow for ourselves, our children, and our children’s children.
As you remember those who have fallen, may you find the inspiration to Embrace Your Potential, in service to your country, community, and family. Be a LIVING lesson for our children. We have an obligation – because we have the freedom – to continue to strive for peace in the world, and it starts with YOU. God bless.
