I think the biggest significance of Remembrance Day is to commemorate the sacrifices of the past that have led to our present. While we may not know a world of war, hardship or comparable pain - we can appreciate that our current national fabric and makeup is a byproduct of the sacrifices made by many during the challenging times of the past. This collective memory helps to foster a national identity that Canada is a melting pot of people willing to sacrifice for a better life - past, present and future.
