The following statement was released by the Ukrainian Canadian Congress on November 11.
Today we honor the sacrifices and courage of those who have served in Canada’s Armed Forces defending our freedom. On Remembrance Day, Canadians from coast to coast to coast pause in tribute to those who bravely defend the liberty and peace that we enjoy.
Throughout the decades – on battlefields of Vimy, Hill 70, Juno Beach, Ortona, Kapyong, the mountains of Afghanistan and countless places around the world, in the skies above Europe and Asia, in the Pacific and Atlantic oceans – Canadians have fought with honor defending our country from the scourge of tyranny.
