\nMembers of the RCMP, Cadets, and Stampeders along with dignitaries and other community representatives marched from the Veteran’s Community Hall to observe the ceremony.
\n<\/br>
\nThe group returned to the Veterans Community Hall for the Remembrance Day observances where the hall was packed to standing room only. <\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>As the final notes of the Last Post faded away
\nat the 11th hour,
\non the 11th Day,
\nof the 11th Month, <\/p>\n

We Remembered Them<\/p>\n

The room fell silent in solemn remembrance and gratitude for those who had paid the ultimate price on our behalf.<\/p>\n

Following the Rouse, many groups and organizations came forward to lay wreaths in remembrance.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

There were many young faces in the crowd. Faces too young to remember the last world war. Too young to remember the wartime tunes sung by the Remembrance Day Choir. Faces committed to remember, nonetheless. To remember those who fought. To remember what they fought for. To remember the sacrifices made. We Will Remember Them.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>
\nLest We Forget<\/strong>
\nThe service and sacrifice of those who protect our freedoms.
\nOur surviving war vets.
\nThose wounded by war in mind, body or spirit.
\nThose who never returned home.
\nThe cost of our freedom.<\/center><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
