On November 11, our nation will pause to remember the generations of Canadians who have bravely served our country, and we will honour those who continue to serve today.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"2536724\" data-originallang=\"en\">With the First World War centennial approaching, let us take a moment to remember some of the historic milestones that contributed to our proud military heritage and helped shape our country: the Battle of Passchendaele, the Battle of the Somme, the Battle of Beaumont Hamel and the Battle of Vimy Ridge. Throughout these battles, regiments from across the country fought together to forge a new and stronger sense of Canadian identity.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"2536725\" data-originallang=\"en\">This important chapter in our history must not be lost, and we should all encourage young Canadians to take an active role in remembrance by taking an active role ourselves.</p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"2536726\" data-originallang=\"en\">Lest we forget.</p>",
