Yesterday, November 11th, the entire St. Joseph’s school community paused to pay respect and accord honour to the many men and women who have served their nation, and worn its uniform, in defense of the democracy, freedom, and the moral ideals that it holds to be dear.Past and present, Canadians have been called to stand up for the weak against the aggressive, the oppressed against their oppressors, and the defenseless against those who would wish to prey upon them.
And we stand proud, today and always, as a small token of thanks for the ultimate sacrifice made by so many, so that so many more may live, and be allowed to do so in an atmosphere of peace, security, and fellowship.
We are Canada, a ray of hope and promise for so many in the world. And today, we honour those who have served as the instruments of that hope.
St. Joseph’s remembers.
