Members of
our country's military,

3
00:00:06,381 --> 00:00:08,342
called the Canadian
Armed Forces,

4
00:00:08,342 --> 00:00:10,219
have the important job
of keeping us

5
00:00:10,219 --> 00:00:12,387
and our friends
around the world safe.

6
00:00:12,387 --> 00:00:15,098
They help bring peace
to countries during conflicts.

7
00:00:15,098 --> 00:00:18,393
They teach what they know
to other militaries

8
00:00:18,393 --> 00:00:21,730
so they can protect themselves
against danger.

9
00:00:21,730 --> 00:00:23,524
And they bring people to safety,

10
00:00:23,524 --> 00:00:25,859
deliver supplies
like food and medicine,

11
00:00:25,859 --> 00:00:28,320
and they help clean up
after wildfires, hurricanes,

12
00:00:28,320 --> 00:00:30,822
and ice storms here at home.

13
00:00:30,822 --> 00:00:33,242
To do this work, members
of the Canadian Armed Forces

14
00:00:33,242 --> 00:00:35,035
show a lot of courage
and strength.

15
00:00:35,035 --> 00:00:37,663
They know they might go
to places that are dangerous.

16
00:00:37,663 --> 00:00:40,249
They know they might see
people who are scared

17
00:00:40,249 --> 00:00:42,334
or sad and need their help.

18
00:00:42,334 --> 00:00:44,962
They know it will be hard work.
But they do it

19
00:00:44,962 --> 00:00:46,630
because they want
to create a better world

20
00:00:46,630 --> 00:00:50,926
for us and for future
generations.

21
00:00:50,926 --> 00:00:54,221
What helps them through
these tough situations is

22
00:00:54,221 --> 00:00:56,849
the special bond and friendship

23
00:00:56,849 --> 00:00:59,726
that members of the Canadian
Armed Forces share.

24
00:00:59,726 --> 00:01:01,937
We call this camaraderie.

25
00:01:01,937 --> 00:01:05,357
Military members work as a team.

26
00:01:05,357 --> 00:01:06,859
They encourage each other.

27
00:01:06,859 --> 00:01:10,153
And they support each other
to complete every mission

28
00:01:10,153 --> 00:01:13,198
they are asked to do.

29
00:01:13,198 --> 00:01:15,784
During Veterans' Week
and on Remembrance Day,

30
00:01:15,784 --> 00:01:19,371
we have the chance, in turn,
to show them our support.

31
00:01:19,371 --> 00:01:22,457
It's a time to think about
and thank all military members

32
00:01:22,457 --> 00:01:25,669
for doing so much for us,
whether they are in the Army,

33
00:01:25,669 --> 00:01:29,882
the Air Force, the Navy,
or the Special Forces.

34
00:01:29,882 --> 00:01:31,633
That includes those
who used to serve

35
00:01:31,633 --> 00:01:33,302
and aren't in
the military anymore.

36
00:01:33,302 --> 00:01:36,096
We call them veterans.

37
00:01:36,096 --> 00:01:38,140
There are many ways
we can remember.

38
00:01:38,140 --> 00:01:42,102
One way is by going
to a Remembrance Day ceremony.

39
00:01:42,102 --> 00:01:44,771
You might have gone
to a ceremony at your school,

40
00:01:44,771 --> 00:01:48,400
your local cenotaph, or you may
have watched it on TV.

41
00:01:48,400 --> 00:01:50,360
Every year on November 11th,

42
00:01:50,360 --> 00:01:52,321
Canadians pause
for a moment of silence

43
00:01:52,321 --> 00:01:55,365
to remember all those
who have served in uniform

44
00:01:55,365 --> 00:01:57,034
and have given so much
to keep others safe.

45
00:01:57,034 --> 00:01:58,911
Including those who lost
their lives in war.

46
00:01:58,911 --> 00:02:01,246
And a young person,
like you or me...

47
00:02:01,246 --> 00:02:03,790
Or me

48
00:02:03,790 --> 00:02:06,210
Will sometimes read
the Commitment to Remember.

49
00:02:06,210 --> 00:02:08,670
This is our promise to military
members and veterans

50
00:02:08,670 --> 00:02:11,423
that we'll always remember
their sacrifices.

51
00:02:11,423 --> 00:02:15,093
Because of them, we can feel
safe, protected, and free.

52
00:02:15,093 --> 00:02:17,888
So, during Veterans' Week,

53
00:02:17,888 --> 00:02:20,307
make sure you wear a poppy
over your heart.

54
00:02:20,307 --> 00:02:21,808
Attend a Remembrance
Day ceremony.

55
00:02:21,808 --> 00:02:24,061
Take a moment to thank a veteran

56
00:02:24,061 --> 00:02:26,438
or a currently serving member
of the Canadian Armed Forces.

57
00:02:26,438 --> 00:02:29,816
Listen to their stories and
share those stories with others.

58
00:02:29,816 --> 00:02:32,277
And let's keep our promise
to remember them.

59
00:02:32,277 --> 00:02:34,738
To remember their bravery,
their sacrifices,

60
00:02:34,738 --> 00:02:38,408

the world a safer place.
