Editorial: Lest we forget!

Yesterday was Remembrance Day. The significance of that day is observed around the world but in many cases, it is losing its “popularity”. The reason for that is obvious, but, at the same time, it is sad and disappointing. The reason for the dwindling popularity is because most nations have not participated in a war, or been affected significantly by a war in a very long time and remembering the fallen from long ago has faded. Fewer wars is a good thing but we say “sad and disappointing” because our world today is what it is, largely because of the sacrifices of those who served and those who paid the ultimate sacrifice for our freedoms.
