CANADA – November 11, 2021
|
Thank you for your service in the Canadian Armed Forces. Your contribution on behalf of our nation is greatly appreciated and will never be forgotten.
Every year on this day, Canadians pause in a silent moment of remembrance for the men and women who have served and continue to serve our country during times of war, conflict, and peace. Join us in honouring them today and every day.
For Remembrance Day, we light a candle and remember our ancestors and all the great men and women who fought so bravely and valiantly to allow us today to live in peace and harmony in the greatest country in the world. We wear poppies, attend ceremonies, and visit memorials. We take time to remember why we must work for peace every day of the year.
Lest we forget our brave and beloved who came before us, may God rest their souls.
For the freedom that we all enjoy, on November 11, remember Canada’s Veterans.

Djuradj “George” Vujcic of the Urban Book Circle recently had the opportunity to learn that ten hand-written journals (totalling over 530 pages) of General Danilo Kalafatovic who was Chief of the General Staff of the Royal Yugoslav Army in 1941 are being sold by a private collector in Toronto. They’re being sold by the M. Benjamin Katz Fine Books and Rare Manuscripts website for $11,255.99. This is an opportunity to help contribute in righting an historical wrong. The archive can be purchased by writing to the benbuysbooks@hotmail.com email address. Let us hope that this appeal reaches the right people so that we can proudly say that we remember and nurture our history. Footage filmed on September 2, 2020.
