On Friday, please join me in wearing red and observing a moment of silence as part of the National Day of Honour. May 9, 2014 is our National Day of Honour to commemorate the end of the Afghanistan mission. This day is a way for Canadians across the country to acknowledge the strength and the sacrifices made by members of the Canadian Armed Forces, and to support the friends and families of fallen soldiers in Afghanistan. Our mission in Afghanistan and the sacrifices we made for it is an important part of our history—of who we are as Calgarians and Canadians. Let’s take Friday to join together as a city and honour the soldiers and families that gave so much to that others may experience a modicum of the freedom we enjoy. And, beyond this important National Day of Honour, I hope we can all commit to honouring—through our daily actions as Canadians—the strength, spirit, and sacrifice of the members of our Canadian Armed Forces from all times of peace and conflict.
