Toughy, I know it is different in the US but since this is the "canadian" part of the forums, I wanted to know if any of my fellow canadians are doing something special for this day or taking two minutes of silence to pay tribute to the men and women who served my country.
"On the 11th hour of the 11th day of the 11th month, Canadians are asked to pause in memory of the thousands of men and women who sacrificed their lives in military service.
At public gatherings in Ottawa and around the country, Canadians pay tribute with two minutes of silence to the country's fallen soldiers from the First World War, the Second World War, the Korean War, the Afghanistan conflict and peacekeeping missions."
