Tomorrow is Rememberance Day and some say it is becoming less recognized and appreciated due to the fact that the events that we remember on this day are too far in the past. It's true, both world wars did happen a long time ago, and a lot of things have changed since then. Technology has advanced and it's like the whole world functions is a different way now. But, that is not a reason to treat Rememberance Day as a thing of the past.
Rememberance Day is a day showing about showing respect to all the troops who fought for the Canada we all live in today. Without them Canada would not be the same as it is today. For some people to say that it is not important anymore is just ridiculous. People died to defend our country, and yes it was a long time ago but that doesn't mean we should start forgeting. We should never stop remembering because those troops risked their lives and died for us to live in peace, and to me, to forget about it all would just be completely wrong and immoral.
The people that think it is not as important to remember anymore need to wake up and realize that there is something very significant worth remembering, even though if it was a long time ago. The significance of the events out weigh the amount of time ago that they happened.
