This poem was written for the National Youth Remembrance Contests, sponsored by the Legion National Foundation, with the assistance of The Royal Canadian Legion and schools across the country. They invite Canadian youth and children to honour Canada’s Veterans and foster the tradition of Remembrance through visual art, writing, and video. All winners at the national level are awarded a cash prize for their work. First Place Senior Winners are eligible for our most prestigious award – a trip to Ottawa and an opportunity to represent the youth of Canada at the National Remembrance Day Ceremony.
