An admirable crowd of mixed young and old patriots assembled at Halifax cenotaph on Sunday for a common cause of honoring the Canadian war heroes. A Grand Parade was commenced during The Remembrance Day ceremony, which glued hundreds of small children, elderly veterans, politicians, and members of the Canadian Forces and their families to share their feelings.
The ceremony was highlighted by brass band and cannon blasts rumbling around, while moving tributes, prayers and laying of wreaths completed the schedule. Majority of the crowd had watery eyes when the children of a soldier killed from a roadside bomb in Afghanistan in 2008, Pte. John Michael Roy Curwin, were presented with the Memorial Cross. The master of ceremonies and District F Commander of the Royal Canadian Legion’s Nova Scotia/Nunavut Command, Jay Tofflemire, mentioned that “It’s hard to keep a dry eye when you think of such a dedicated soldier and devoted family man harmed in the line of duty.” He explained that “It really hits home when you think of those who have died serving their country.”
The Royal Canadian Navy veteran asserted that the large crowds convening at The Remembrance Day events all over the province are the driving force for the veterans. Tofflemire mentioned that Canadian Forces are also supportive of veterans, adding that the legion and other organizations that serve veterans are essential. He stated that “there are some that slip through the cracks. Some of the homeless people in Halifax are ex-service members who never got the treatment they needed, and we need to make sure we reach out to them.”
