Remembering 9/11

Remembering 9/11: A Day of Unity and Reflection

September 11, 2001, is a date forever etched in our collective memory. On that fateful day, the world watched in disbelief as acts of terror unfolded, claiming nearly 3,000 lives and leaving a lasting scar on the heart of our nation. As we mark another anniversary of 9/11, it’s a moment to pause, reflect, and honor the lives lost and the enduring spirit of resilience that emerged in its wake.

The morning began like any other, but in the blink of an eye, it transformed into a day of tragedy and heroism. The iconic images of the Twin Towers collapsing, the smoke billowing from the Pentagon, and the brave passengers of Flight 93 who fought back against their hijackers are seared into our memories. These images are not just a reminder of the horror but also of the incredible courage displayed by ordinary people in extraordinary circumstances.

In the aftermath, our country united in ways previously unimaginable. We came together to support one another, to rebuild, and to honor the fallen. Memorials like the 9/11 Memorial & Museum in New York City stand as a testament to the lives lost and the strength of the human spirit. The serene reflecting pools and the poignant names inscribed in bronze remind us of the individual stories behind the statistics, emphasizing that every life mattered.

As we look back, let us remember not only the tragedy but also the unity and resilience that followed. Let us honor those who were lost by continuing to build a world characterized by compassion, courage, and solidarity. Today, and every day, we stand together in remembrance, united by the shared memory of 9/11.

The 9/11 Memorial & Museum in New York City stands as a powerful tribute to those we lost.

The bravery of first responders on September 11, 2001, remains a shining example of heroism and selflessness.

80th Anniversary of D-Day and Juno Beach

Juno Beach holds a profound significance in Canadian history as the site where Canadian forces played a crucial role in the Battle of Normandy on D-Day, June 6, 1944. The 80th anniversary of this monumental event is a time to honor and remember the bravery and sacrifices of Army, Navy, and Air Force veterans, especially those from unit 379 in Maple Ridge, BC. On that fateful day, Canadian soldiers stormed Juno Beach, facing fierce resistance. Despite heavy casualties, they succeeded in their mission, securing a vital foothold that contributed to the Allied victory in World War II.

For unit 379, this anniversary is a poignant reminder of the courage and resilience demonstrated by their predecessors. The Army’s relentless advance, the Navy’s critical support in ensuring a successful landing, and the Air Force’s vital air cover were all pivotal in the success of Operation Overlord. As we commemorate this 80th anniversary, we pay tribute to the veterans’ enduring legacy, acknowledging their role in shaping the course of history and safeguarding our freedoms. Their valor and dedication continue to inspire future generations, and their stories of heroism remain etched in the fabric of Canadian heritage.
