We should always remember our veterans,
those who served for our countries and are still,
those are still serving now.
And I think I've
been at this parade since 1963
with missing maybe one or two.
I was a piper in the regiment,
so I played on the streets of Montreal in slush and rain
and snowstorms.
Proud of the people serving,
proud of the people that have served.
And proud of the public coming in and paying their respects.
But remembrance is a must, is a must day.
We think of the men and women who,
you know, made the ultimate sacrifice
or came back wounded, whether physically or mentally,
whether families injured as well.
We need to be with them and we need to tell them that we honour them.
We recognize the sacrifices that they did for the country.
It's not just the world wars,
but it's also all the peace missions, Afghanistan, Bosnia.
We've lost soldiers there and some gave their lives for us,
others came back wounded.
People do forget and that's when we should remember them even more,
because they sacrificed a lot and they went through a lot also.
