This Sunday November 11, the residents of the Crowsnest Pass will be celebrating Remembrance Day in honour of our veterans who have fought and served this country with distinction in peace and war.

   As Canadians, we are thankful for the many sacrifices our young men and women have made as members of our armed forces, in protecting this wonderful and free country. Their tours of duty during the Boer War, World War I, World War II, The Korean War, The Gulf War and as Peacekeepers has been costly in terms of personal sacrifices.

   Our reputation among peace loving nations has never been higher than it is today, which demonstrates the respect this nation has earned in a world full of conflicts and wars. The Crowsnest Pass has established the reputation of a close knit community that turns out in force to pay our due respects on this sacred day in our history, 'Remembrance Day'.

   Check out this issue of the Herald for times, places and locations organized for November 11. Like I said before, the Crowsnest Pass takes a back seat to no other community when we fulfill the sacred statement, 'Lest we forget.'
