I'm excited to be in Ottawa this year because this day means a lot to me. Sunday, November 11th will be a day to remember our history and those who made sacrifices I can never imagine.
A touching tribute to Canadians past and present serving our nation.
I took these pictures last year at the United Nations Memorial Cemetery in Busan, Korea. 516 Canadians were killed in action during the Korean War and many are buried in this cemetery. It's a powerful place to go.
Often reffered to as "Canada's Forgotten War", Canadian troops distinguised themselves for their grit, tenacity and bravery at such places as the Battle of Kapyong.
