Remembrance Day 2010 Stittsville Ontario

Today, I had the honour of attending my local Remembrance Day ceremony here in Stittsville.  Each year Dale Hogan Photography takes pause, to in some small way remember.  Remember the sacrifice, remember the bravery, remember the fallen.

This year, as our way of saying, “Lest we Forget”, we are freely offering the images captured at today’s commemorative service held in Stittsville.   Simply follow this link to our 2010 Remembrance Day Gallery for your free downloadable images.

My sincere thanks to all who have and continue to serve our great nation!

Today, We Remember

Last night, I listened as my daughter spoke to her Great-Grandpa on the phone.  She called to share with him the mark she received on a school project.  The assignment included information about her Great-Grandfather’s time as a soldier during WWII.  At one point she paused and said, “Tomorrow is Remembrance Day Grandpa; I want you to know that I remember”.

Our freedom was not free.  Today, I remember.  Thank you Grandpa.

Lest We Forget

Today I took pause.  I stopped what I was doing to reflect on that which has not directly touched my life, and yet has profoundly affected it.  I thought of the terrible loss of life and I prayed for peace.  Peace, not only for me or for this great nation of Canada but for people everywhere of every tribe and tongue.

I am privileged to know a few of those who have severed, suffered and returned home from WWII to the freedom that many gave their lives for.  Today I say thank you!  I know full well that my thanks could never be enough so I pledge to remember and to pass on that remembrance to those who follow after me; Lest We Forget.
