Even though I don't have any family who fought in a war, I still hold Remembrance Day close to my heart. I believe that it is extremely important to remember the people who fought and/or fight for our freedom. Without them, our country would not be the place it is today. Normally every year I attend a Remembrance Day Service, or attempt to. I used to be a girl guide, and with that came me walking and being involved in the annual ceremony. So it is like a tradition for my attendance.
