assignment 13: Lest we forget

PART: A
Remembrance day is a very important day, possibly one of the most important celebrations we hold as a culture. unlike most holidays we are honoring people who fought for our freedom and gave their own lives rather then celebrating over a mythological person or superstitious legend. remembrance day is just about remembering, realizing and acknowledge that people who had families, friends and happy lives gave that up so we could have the same thing. would you give up everything you have for the chance that someone else might get it back one day? not many would. remembrance day also goes by other names such as armistice day and poppy day, on November 11th and 11th hour (11,11,11) the first world war finally ended and we have taken the time out of our day, on that day and time for each year to remember the soldiers who fought and gave their live for Canada to be free.
