November 11th’s Remembrance Day is on the minds of our writers, and every year The Voice publishes several articles marking the day.
Never forgotten. Max Birkner uses his personal experience to draw relevance to Remembrance Day for younger generations. “My parents emigrated from the neutral country of Sweden in 1973. They had very little idea what Remembrance Day was all about until one October morning, when their son got on the grey-painted military airliner and flew off to Afghanistan.” Remember the Future, November 11, 2011.
Poppies blow. Elizabeth Epp explains the origins of the poppy as a symbol of remembrance, and summarizes Remembrance ceremonies across the country. “Let us always remember these gifts, and always show our gratitude and pride in the veterans, soldiers, and their families for the generous sacrifice they made, and continue to make, everyday.” “Lest We Forget”, November 10, 2006
