Mr. Speaker, next Thursday Canadians will take a moment to remember and thank veterans for the incredible service they have given our country.
In World War I, World War II and Korea our soldiers performed exceptionally well. They made Canada the country it is today. Our young soldiers left their homes from across Canada to go and fight in these conflicts. Their sacrifices were gigantic and not all of them came home.
Recently, my constituency office staff had the honour of a visit from Rudy Deutsch who served in Italy during World War II. This gentleman recounted some of the experiences he faced during the war. The stories were amazing. It is because of people like Mr. Deutsch and many others that we live in freedom today.
I urge all members to attend Remembrance Day events in their communities. It is the perfect time and place to show their appreciation to our veterans.
