With the recent death of one of our Saskatchewan soldiers, we are all reminded that our veterans have paid a very high price for our freedom. Many of our soldiers, sailors and air crews made the ultimate sacrifice for Canada.

Whether on D-Day in Normandy, at Kapyong in Korea, or Kandahar in Afghanistan, our Armed Forces have gone above and beyond what they were called to do again and again. They faced their fears and went forward to defend their Canada and the values that Canadians stand for.

It is because of this commitment and their sacrifice that we honour them each Remembrance Day. We honour them by taking the time out of our busy schedules to attend services and to observe a moment of silence.  We honour them by supporting the loved ones they left behind.

This Remembrance Day, my prayers and wishes are with all the friends and family of all our veterans, but particularly the family of Lieut. Justin Boyes; all of Saskatchewan grieves with you.
