They went because their country asked them to and they went with dignity because of their loyalty and sense of duty to our nation. </p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"2144795\" data-originallang=\"en\">Many came home and continue to come home with terrible injuries that scar the body and the soul, and, tragically, some never came home to their families.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"2144796\" data-originallang=\"en\">Canada and Canadians promised these many men and women that they would be honoured and remembered by a grateful nation. And so today, we remember their sacrifice, courage and service because we must never break faith with them.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"2144797\" data-originallang=\"en\">At the going down of the sun and in the morning, we will remember them.</p>",

Ils y sont all\u00e9s parce que leur pays le leur demandait et ils y sont all\u00e9s dans la dignit\u00e9, motiv\u00e9s par leur loyaut\u00e9 et leur sentiment du devoir envers notre nation.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"2144795\" data-originallang=\"en\">Un grand nombre sont revenus terriblement bless\u00e9s dans leur corps et leur \u00e2me et, tragiquement, certains ne sont jamais retourn\u00e9s dans leur famille.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"2144796\" data-originallang=\"en\">Le Canada et les Canadiens ont promis \u00e0 ces nombreux hommes et femmes qu'ils seraient honor\u00e9s et que leur souvenir serait pr\u00e9serv\u00e9 par une nation reconnaissante. C'est pourquoi aujourd'hui nous rappelons leur sacrifice, leur courage et le service qu'ils ont rendu parce que nous ne devrions jamais manquer \u00e0 notre parole envers eux.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"2144797\" data-originallang=\"en\">Quand viendra l'heure du cr\u00e9puscule et celle de l'aurore, nous nous souviendrons d'eux.</p>"
