00:00:04.296 --> 00:00:06.381 align:center line:-2
Members of
our country's military,

00:00:06.381 --> 00:00:08.342 align:center line:-2
called the Canadian
Armed Forces,

00:00:08.342 --> 00:00:10.219 align:center line:-2
have the important job
of keeping us

00:00:10.219 --> 00:00:12.387 align:center line:-2
and our friends
around the world safe.

00:00:12.387 --> 00:00:15.098 align:center line:-2
They help bring peace
to countries during conflicts.

00:00:15.098 --> 00:00:18.393 align:center line:-2
They teach what they know
to other militaries

00:00:18.393 --> 00:00:21.730 align:center line:-2
so they can protect themselves
against danger.

00:00:21.730 --> 00:00:23.524 align:center line:-1
And they bring people to safety,

00:00:23.524 --> 00:00:25.859 align:center line:-2
deliver supplies
like food and medicine,

00:00:25.859 --> 00:00:28.320 align:center line:-2
and they help clean up
after wildfires, hurricanes,

00:00:28.320 --> 00:00:30.822 align:center line:-1
and ice storms here at home.

00:00:30.822 --> 00:00:33.242 align:center line:-2
To do this work, members
of the Canadian Armed Forces

00:00:33.242 --> 00:00:35.035 align:center line:-2
show a lot of courage
and strength.

00:00:35.035 --> 00:00:37.663 align:center line:-2
They know they might go
to places that are dangerous.

00:00:37.663 --> 00:00:40.249 align:center line:-2
They know they might see
people who are scared

00:00:40.249 --> 00:00:42.334 align:center line:-1
or sad and need their help.

00:00:42.334 --> 00:00:44.962 align:center line:-2
They know it will be hard work.
But they do it

00:00:44.962 --> 00:00:46.630 align:center line:-2
because they want
to create a better world

00:00:46.630 --> 00:00:50.926 align:center line:-2
for us and for future
generations.

00:00:50.926 --> 00:00:54.221 align:center line:-2
What helps them through
these tough situations is

00:00:54.221 --> 00:00:56.849 align:center line:-1
the special bond and friendship

00:00:56.849 --> 00:00:59.726 align:center line:-2
that members of the Canadian
Armed Forces share.

00:00:59.726 --> 00:01:01.937 align:center line:-1
We call this camaraderie.

00:01:01.937 --> 00:01:05.357 align:center line:-1
Military members work as a team.

00:01:05.357 --> 00:01:06.859 align:center line:-1
They encourage each other.

00:01:06.859 --> 00:01:10.153 align:center line:-2
And they support each other
to complete every mission

00:01:10.153 --> 00:01:13.198 align:center line:-1
they are asked to do.

00:01:13.198 --> 00:01:15.784 align:center line:-2
During Veterans' Week
and on Remembrance Day,

00:01:15.784 --> 00:01:19.371 align:center line:-2
we have the chance, in turn,
to show them our support.

00:01:19.371 --> 00:01:22.457 align:center line:-2
It's a time to think about
and thank all military members

00:01:22.457 --> 00:01:25.669 align:center line:-2
for doing so much for us,
whether they are in the Army,

00:01:25.669 --> 00:01:29.882 align:center line:-2
the Air Force, the Navy,
or the Special Forces.

00:01:29.882 --> 00:01:31.633 align:center line:-2
That includes those
who used to serve

00:01:31.633 --> 00:01:33.302 align:center line:-2
and aren't in
the military anymore.

00:01:33.302 --> 00:01:36.096 align:center line:-1
We call them veterans.

00:01:36.096 --> 00:01:38.140 align:center line:-2
There are many ways
we can remember.

00:01:38.140 --> 00:01:42.102 align:center line:-2
One way is by going
to a Remembrance Day ceremony.

00:01:42.102 --> 00:01:44.771 align:center line:-2
You might have gone
to a ceremony at your school,

00:01:44.771 --> 00:01:48.400 align:center line:-2
your local cenotaph, or you may
have watched it on TV.

00:01:48.400 --> 00:01:50.360 align:center line:-1
Every year on November 11th,

00:01:50.360 --> 00:01:52.321 align:center line:-2
Canadians pause
for a moment of silence

00:01:52.321 --> 00:01:55.365 align:center line:-2
to remember all those
who have served in uniform

00:01:55.365 --> 00:01:57.034 align:center line:-2
and have given so much
to keep others safe.

00:01:57.034 --> 00:01:58.911 align:center line:-2
Including those who lost
their lives in war.

00:01:58.911 --> 00:02:01.246 align:center line:-2
And a young person,
like you or me...

00:02:01.246 --> 00:02:03.790 align:center line:-1
Or me

00:02:03.790 --> 00:02:06.210 align:center line:-2
Will sometimes read
the <i>Commitment to Remember.</i>

00:02:06.210 --> 00:02:08.670 align:center line:-2
This is our promise to military
members and veterans

00:02:08.670 --> 00:02:11.423 align:center line:-2
that we'll always remember
their sacrifices.

00:02:11.423 --> 00:02:15.093 align:center line:-2
Because of them, we can feel
safe, protected, and free.

00:02:15.093 --> 00:02:17.888 align:center line:-1
So, during Veterans' Week,

00:02:17.888 --> 00:02:20.307 align:center line:-2
make sure you wear a poppy
over your heart.

00:02:20.307 --> 00:02:21.808 align:center line:-2
Attend a Remembrance
Day ceremony.

00:02:21.808 --> 00:02:24.061 align:center line:-1
Take a moment to thank a veteran

00:02:24.061 --> 00:02:26.438 align:center line:-2
or a currently serving member
of the Canadian Armed Forces.

00:02:26.438 --> 00:02:29.816 align:center line:-2
Listen to their stories and
share those stories with others.

00:02:29.816 --> 00:02:32.277 align:center line:-2
And let's keep our promise
to remember them.

00:02:32.277 --> 00:02:34.738 align:center line:-2
To remember their bravery,
their sacrifices,

00:02:34.738 --> 00:02:38.408 align:center line:-2
and their determination to make
the world a safer place.
