I highly recommend all the Battle 360 episodes covering the USS Enterprise.

In Flanders fields the poppies blow
Between the crosses, row on row,
That mark our place: and in the sky
The larks still bravely singing fly
Scarce heard amid the guns below.

We are the dead: Short days ago,
We lived, felt dawn, saw sunset glow,
Loved and were loved: and now we lie
In Flanders fields!

Take up our quarrel with the foe
To you, from failing hands, we throw
The torch: be yours to hold it high
If ye break faith with us who die,
We shall not sleep, though poppies grow
In Flanders fields

watching WWII veteran Howie Meeker read that (on TSN) was rather touching.

Wait...


Canada actually has troops??


I thought that was just myth. Like Canadian football.

I know.

Can't thank our veterans and current military enough for the sacrifices they make. My video is in honor of the WWI soldiers, because I just watched Joyeux Noel and this song is pretty awesome:
Pretty great movie if you've never seen it...and hey, my ancestors were still over in Europe fighting at that time anyway. Ironically, on both sides.

yes, and just like the CFL, we had different rules to the war as well...
for example, our WWII started in 1939, not 1942.

Because of the metric conversion?
