Every year on November 11, Canadians pause in a silent moment of remembrance for the men and women who have served, and continue to serve our country during times of war, conflict and peace. We honour those who fought for Canada in the First World War (1914-1918), the Second World War (1939-1945), and the Korean War (1950-1953), as well as those who have served since then. More than 1,500,000 Canadians have served our country in this way, and more than 100,000 have died. They gave their lives and their futures so that we may live in peace.

In Flanders fields the poppies blow
Between the crosses, row on row
That mark our place; and in the sky
The larks, still bravely singing, fly
Scarce heard amid the guns below.

We are the Dead. Short days ago
We lived, felt dawn, saw sunset glow,
Loved and were loved, and now we lie
In Flanders fields.

Take up our quarrel with the foe:
To you from failing hands we throw
The torch; be yours to hold it high.
If ye break faith with us who die
We shall not sleep, though poppies grow
In Flanders fields.

And last but not least a prayer.

In the name of the Father, the Son, and The Holy Spirit.

Hail Mary full of grace,
The lord is with thee,
blessed art though amoung women
and blessed art the fruit of thy womb
holy mary
mother of God
Pray for us sinners now and at the hour of our death.

Our Father, who art in heaven
Hallowed be thy name
thy kindom come
thy will be done
on earth, as it is in heaven
Give us this day, our daily bread
and forgive of us our trespasse
as we forgive thoose who trespasse against us
and lead us not into tempation, but deliver us from evil

Glory be to the Father, the son, and the holy spirit, as it was in the beggining and is now and ever shall be a world without end.

Lest we forget,
Amen

i wonder who the heck flamed this

so what I said was a Flame??

We call it veterans day in america, but as far as most people are concerned its just a day off. most people don't even know that it is armistice day. some REALLY observant people might say its the day that halo 2 was released in europe. but the fact is that it is a day when we remember those who died not only on our side but on the sides of our allies, and indeed our enemies. do we think about operation overlord in WWII, when the Americans, Canadians, and English all fought for a common goal? do we think about the hundreds of russians in the ost battalian, or the germans who didn't know the horrors of the government they were fighting for when they got drafted? or countless other examples in all the other wars faced by countries around the world? nope. its a day off. Phenom, i have to give you serious congratulations for bringing this up on a website which is inhabited by people who who can be unforgiving sometimes, and you should know that for every jackass who disrespects this thread there are five of us who know what you are talking about and agree with what you are saying. please come back, don't let a few jerks keep you away from the site just because they don't take real life as seriously as a game.

Anyone who flames this topic is lower than pond scum.

My granddad fought for the Canadian Army at Normandy and damn near got killed when a bullet hit him in the chest (his pocketwatch stopped it, how crazy is that). My other grandfather was a driver in the AIF (Australian Army) in Papua New Guinea. Both of them were serving their countries so that little shits like you could come here and knock them and their brave brothers in arms who died? I DON'T THINK SO.

Show some fucking respect.
