“Lest we forget.” A quiet card to honour those who served, for November 11. Free to send, no account needed.
It opens from an envelope to a slow piano and cello air, the Londonderry Air.
On November 11, Canada remembers the men and women who served and died in the First and Second World Wars, the Korean War, peacekeeping missions and Afghanistan. At 11 a.m., the eleventh hour of the eleventh day of the eleventh month, the country pauses for two minutes of silence.
This card carries that silence to someone you love: a veteran in your family, a friend who served, or anyone who keeps the day. You add their name and a few words of your own. The figures on the card come from Veterans Affairs Canada.
