We remember those who stormed the beaches of Normandy...
Those who fell and those who made it past the barrage of machine gun fire and mortars.
Today we remember the sacrifice of those we may or may not have known always, but hold dear in our hearts forevermore as Canadian and American heroes.
Je Me Souviens...I will Remember, but more importantly, Merci, Thank You.
Today, as I take my sons to Glider Training, I think of you. As we prepare to go fishing, I think of you. As I sit here now, I think of you.
I think of the sacrifice and the legacy of honour you left for all of us, and feel compelled to live my life to the fullest. I pledge to waste nothing of the time and freedom your payment left me in debt forever.
So as I tip my glass, tilt my rod, and land that little fish, my mind wonders to your deeds, and you, as heroes, so I thank you with all my heart. Today I breath free, and do all the things I love, with all the people I love, because brave men and boys, paid a price for me to do so.
Your memory will never die, so long as those of us that recognise the monumental sacrifice you made, for us. People whom some of you have never, nor will ever, have met. But for us, your sacrifice was the most important.
So again I say thank you and Je Me Souviens.
