As the years pass, there are fewer veterans left to share their stories and remind us firsthand of the realities of war. Their voices may be fading, but their stories and sacrifices must never be forgotten.

Remembering is about more than wearing a poppy or attending a Remembrance Day ceremony. It is about understanding our history, recognizing the cost of freedom and learning from the mistakes of the past so future generations don’t have to experience them again.

We owe it to those who served, those who sacrificed and those who never made it home to keep their memories alive. We must ensure their contributions are never taken for granted.

Remembrance Day may have passed, but our responsibility to remember never does.

We will remember them.
