Having spent the morning at our local court house observing Remembrance Day ceremonies, I felt it might be helpful to offer up some background information for those that may not quite understand the importance of November 11th. For the benefit of Andre Bellavance and his fellow travelers in the Bloc Quebecois, a thumbnail guide to sacrifice, commitment and love of country.
Pierre Berton -- VIMY
Pierre Berton -- MARCHING AS TO WAR
Jeffy V. Brock -- THE DARK BROAD SEAS
Jeffy V. Brock -- THE THUNDER AND THE SUNSHINE
Terry Copp -– FIELDS OF FIRE: THE CANADIANS IN NORMANDY
Romeo Dallaire -– SHAKE HANDS WITH THE DEVIL
Julie H. Ferguson -- THROUGH A CANADIAN PERISCOPE
Strome Galloway -- BRAVELY INTO BATTLE
Commander Tony German -- THE SEA IS AT OUR GATES
Major General Lewis MacKenzie -- PEACEKEEPER
Desmond Morton and J. L. Granatstein - - MARCHING TO ARMAGEDDON
Desmond Morton and J. L. Granatstein - - A NATION FORGED IN FIRE
Mark Zuehlke - - JUNO BEACH
Mark Zuehlke - - ORTONA
Just a small list, but enough to give Mr. Bellavance and others a better understanding of the reverence that many Canadians hold their veterans in, and the spirit of which we honour every November 11th. Should you know of a book that is a must read simply leave us a note in the comments, we look forward to your additions.
