As November 11 approaches, let us take a moment to remember and honour the brave men and women who have sacrificed so much for the freedoms and peace we cherish each day.
This year, Remembrance Day feels especially close to home for Saskatchewan. This past week, Saskatchewan’s own Shawn Farrell, who tragically lost his life in the Wainwright tragedy, was laid to rest in Prince Albert. His passing is a heartbreaking reminder of the sacrifices made by those who serve and the profound impact their loss has on families, communities and our province.
Please support the Poppy Campaign and wear your poppy with pride over your heart, on the left side, close to where we carry our gratitude and remembrance.
More importantly, let us teach younger generations the meaning behind the poppy and the importance of Remembrance Day. Growing up in Blaine Lake, our parents instilled in us the importance of attending and observing the November 11th ceremonies, and of taking the time to reflect on the sacrifices made by so many. It is a tradition and a sense of gratitude that we must continue to pass on to our children and grandchildren. May they understand that the freedoms we enjoy came at a tremendous cost, and that remembering those who served, those who sacrificed, and those who never returned is a responsibility we must carry forward.
We remember. We honour. We will never forget.
Lest We Forget.
