Each year, people around the globe set aside Nov. 11 as a day to remember the men and women who served their country, fought for us and died so we could live in freedom.
On behalf of my colleagues in government, I offer heartfelt thanks to the veterans have who served our country with courage and dignity, and to their fallen comrades who paid the ultimate price ? their lives. I also thank the family members and friends who lost loved ones in times of war.
Today, I also ask all Manitobans to unite in showing appreciation for those who continue to protect our freedom and democracy every day. This is a day when we must all remember those who defend us and to cherish our freedom.
A wish we share as Manitobans and Canadians is that our Remembrance Day observance will send a message of peace and freedom that resonates around the world.
