Remembrance

Men and women who left their homes and families, who faced fear and danger, who cared for the wounded, rescued others and sometimes gave their lives so that others might live. They were not all heroes in the way we imagine heroes to be; many were simply people doing what they believed was right, helping others when help was needed most. Today, we remember their courage and sacrifice, and ask ourselves how we can follow their example through kindness, compassion and standing up for others.
