The Hill Times
This will be my 25th Remembrance Day advocating for injured serving members, veterans, and their families. Some things have improved, while others remain unchanged. Sadly, we have witnessed a regressive repeat of the sad legacies and past neglect of those in uniform who have sacrificed so much so that we can live our lives of prosperity, dignity, and peace. Remembrance Day focuses so much on the past that we often forget or—equally harmfully—idealize the living sacrifices in our midst.
More needs to be done to honour their sacrifice. First: Let’s start with a duty to inform and even care for all our veterans and their families in accordance with their circumstances. There is one thing all parliamentarians, veterans, and their families can agree upon: programs for veterans and their families are extremely complex and often difficult to access, especially for the more disabled. Let us reciprocate their sacrifices and dedication in uniform with at least this one small obligation.
