Hundreds attend annual Remembrance Day service at Waverley Park
THUNDER BAY — Though more than a century has elapsed since the conclusion of the First World War, and several decades since the Second World War and Korean War, the history of the Canada's military contributions is still alive with local service members continuing to serve international deployments.
"We need to keep everybody educated about the conflicts of World War I, World War II, Korea, peacekeeping, Afghanistan, so that we hope this never happens again," Romick said. It's important to keep the more recent generations of veterans in memory, Romick said, adding there will always be veterans present for the ceremonies.
"I think we need to just remember that there are people that are signing up and going out to make sure the freedoms we have are ongoing, and we need to be respectful and honour them in whatever way we can," said Legion branch president Katriina Myllymaa.
