I think this year was the first time that I got more than a little teary-eyed. After the service some international students here at UofT went around to talk to the veterans to find out why Nov.11 is so significant to Canadians. While they were doing this, two of them came up to a myself and a member from another fraternity. They were two girls from Croatia and Serbia respectivelty, and they had recognized the Yugoslavia UN medal. They were in tears as they thanked us for what we and other Canadians had done for them and their families..... the part that tore me up was the girl crying as she mention it was a Canadian medic that had saved her life, even though her lower leg had been blown off by a landmine. The other girl had lost both of her brothers during the Kosovo crisis, both were medics and had studied medicine at UofT before returning because of the wars there......
I hope we never go through this again.... and I hope George Bush gets the message that today is supposed to send (though I seriously doubt it).
