World War I ? "the War to End all Wars"
Sacrifice and Remembrance

A battlefield gives birth to a flower, a flower inspires a poem; a poem prompts a movement; and a single day of tribute blossoms into a month of remembrance.

Every poppy worn on coats and hats during those waning, grey days of November is symbolic of a life touched by war; the countless men and women who stepped forward to serve the cause of peace and freedom.

They witnessed the worst and the best of humanity; served with selfless bravery; countless acts that fell with their heroes never to be told. And those who did return, part of them remained lost forever.

Though veterans stand proud during tribute of remembrance; tears fall fresh as yesterday. And as 2010 claims our last Canadian World War I veteran, we who enjoy the liberties bequeathed by his generation's selfless acts and sacrifices, pay tribute to their legacy, symbolized by the poppy.
