REMEMBRANCE DAY in Canada


A moving moment in today’s Remembrance Day ceremony in Ottawa featured John Babcock, the only surviving Canadian who was in uniform during the First World War.  The 108 year old, passed a torch of remembrance, marking the line from In Flanders Fields:  ”To you, from failing hands, we throw the torch, be yours to hold it high.”  Hundreds surrounded the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier where they quietly laid their poppies as a show of respect.  The ceremony in Ottawa was just one of many held across the country.
