100 years

This year marks the centennial of the end of fighting in WW1. Being in Belgium, we are at the centre of it. The memory of the horror. The desperate need to remember as the year pass. The very real role Canada played. 

The ceremony at the cemetery this morning was much like previous years. Solemn. Respectful. Yet, punctuating it all was the symbolism of this year in particular. 

One hundred years later. It was not the war to end all wars. It created institutions that work hard toward that end. Perhaps, one day, we will realise the cost before we pay it.

We will remember them.
