"We are all thinking of the family and friends of our Canadian fallen comrade during this sad time !
An amazing tribute..how could it not bring tears to your eyes? I too saw the CBC presentation on Remembrance Day and i saved it to my bookmarks. I wish I knew how to post it on here so that others could see it.
This played on CBC for the coverage of the Remembrance Day ceremony of Ottawa, I couldn't go to the cenotaph to see it for real because of the school, and I'm no longer in the Ottawa Childrens Choir who sings. I watched it after school over and over again and I was weeping, it's such a touching song. And the slideshow that matched was incredible.
John McDermott, it's a pleasure to have met you and know that you do all Canadians proud! This is a beautiful song that brings tears to my eyes EVERY time I hear it! God bless you and all those men and women who choose to protect me!
the words are so moving...another awesome tribute to our veterans and peacekeepers by john mcdermott...up there with "and the band played waltzing matilda" and "christmas in the trenches".....lest we forget
God bless Canada's troops.
