  1. Yes I do believe it is very important to remember the soldier. I believe it is important because they died for the future generation, I think it would be a shame if they are watching our generation and thinking" I died for theses ingrates". How much time does it take out of your day to just simply care. Simply be respectful of those deserving it and be grateful.

  2. The assembly was well thought out and showed much respect to our special guessed veteran who had fought in the war. It is important to remember the soldiers that fought in that war because they either gave up there life and or risked there life so that we could live in peace and not war, so that we wouldn't have to live in danger and fear. And yes remembrance day is relevant to our generation because there are still wars going on in other countries and it shows us how lucky we are to be living in a country that doesn't have to deal with wars and that we don't have to live in fear and that we can feel safe in Canada because of them. Another reason is because it's a big part of our history and history itself, and it shows that we are all equal because they didn't just fight for there own freedom, but they fought for our freedom and the freedom for generations to come. It is and will always be a big part of history and something that will never be forgotten.

  3. Remembrance day is an important day . And during the assembly everyone thought about the people who fought for us and saved us . It's amazing how three grades of students can be silent and respect a former soldier, who came during his time to tell us his story and an very important story indeed. It's important to remember those soldiers because they had put their lives in danger to protect millions of people and fight for what they believe in . And we should at least respect these soldiers and remember them . Remembrance day is relevant for are generation because if we didn't have soldiers fighting for us, we would probably not exist without their help.

  4. Remembrance day is still very important because we need to remember the people that risked their loves for us to keep us standing here today. The assembly was a perfect representation of what remembrance day is all about.If it weren't for these soldiers we would not be in a good situation and they fought to give us freedom and hope in the world but some sadly didn't make it during this process they where so brave and are very special to us.

  6. My opinion on the assembly was that it was a great assembly. It made us remember all the things that our soldiers did for this country. Even when the old man spoke, it made me think how the war was and what the hard things they had t do for Canada. I think it is very important to remember the soldiers because they did so much for us. They risked their lives everyday they were in the field for us. I don't know how muich we can thank them for that. Poppies are very important because you show the respect you have for them and everything they've done for us. I think that Rememberance Day is still relevant in our generation becasue it is importan to refelct on what the soldiers have done for Canada.

  7. the assembly was really good i thought, although you couldnt hear the veteran that well it was still inspiring to be around such a courageous person. s/o to the other grade 9 leadership students who planned the assembly, we did a good job! I think it is really important to commemorate all the soldiers because we should never forget how Canada came to be a free country. Thanks to all the soldiers, today our country lives in peace. They sacrificed their lives for ours.

  9. I thought the assembly was very good, I think it is important to have Remembrance Day so that we can remember and thank those who fought for our country and so that we can be grateful for what we have and how our country is. Yes I think Remembrance Day is relevant because we are still fighting wars and we all need to be thankful for the fact that we are not in any danger at the moment because of the soldiers risking their lives for us. It is also still relevant so that we can learn not to make the mistakes of the past.

I found the assembly very well done and it was so nice to have a veteran come in and talk to us. it means a lot . it is still very relevant to our generation because they are still out somewhere fighting for us. and i find that incredible.

  11. I found the assembly very heartwarming. It was well organized except for the part that we all had to sit on the ground. But other then that it was a beautiful assembly. It's important to rememeber the soldiers who fought for us and our country. They could have stayed home and lived and stay alive and be with their family and not risk their lives but they went out to go and fight for us we need to remember the fact that they did this for us and without them today our world would have probably been messed up and corrupted. It was important to remember the soldiers who fought for us before but it still is to this day and hopefully it Will forever and ever because we are alive here today thanks to them!.

  13. I really enjoyed the assembly and I thought it was so cool that we had a veteran come in to speak with us. I'm thankful that we have the freedom that we have today. remembrance day is so important it shows that we didn't always have freedom that we had to fight for it and I am truly blessed to live in Canada and I'm proud to wear a poppy and call myself Canadian. I think that we should always have Remembrance day and every canadien should know all the strong soldiers who fought for our country. let us never forgot

  14. In my opinion, the assembly was great. We got the chance to meet a real life veteran that is 90 years old. It is important to remember and respect the soldiers who died in the war because they gave their lives to give us freedom. If they didn't do this, we won't have the freedom like we have now. Our future generations should remember and respect this day and the soldiers that had died for us because they gave us freedom that we live in now.

  15. I thought that the assembly was really good. We couldn't really hear the veteran really well but it was very inspiring to see him talk about the war he fought in and he is very courageous for that. It is very important to remember all the veterans who fought and sacrificed them selves for us to be free. Remembrance day should always be a day where we all take a minute and thank all the men and women who sacrificed everything for us today.

  17. I am very proud of the assembly that we put on for the school. We did a great job organizing it and the audience seemed to really like it. I think it is very important to remember the soldiers because they gave their lives and their freedom so that we could have better lives today. We owe them so much appreciation for their sacrafices. It is very important that we remember them on this day and never forget what they gave for us.

  18. In my opinion the assembly was very organised and it made us think of the people who served our country. I think it's very important to remember the people who fought for our freedom, most of the time we take everything for grated and it's good to remember sometimes of the soldiers who fought for us. I think remembrance day is still relevant in this generation because if their was no day like November 11, no one would remember the present soldiers and past soldiers who fought for us.

  19. Yes I think to remember our people who fought for us is great because a lot of them died and we can't give thanks to them now so we need to take a silence. I think the assembly was great that we participated to listen to our guest that we invited. November 11 is a great day it's a day we need to remember about everything what they did for us.

  20. Remembrance Day is still to this day very very important in my opinion. It's important because we always have to remember all the soldiers that fought for our country. With out them we would probably not have the freedom we have today. Personally speaking I thought the assembly was really well presented, it showed us how we should be grateful for what we have here in Canada and we should always be grateful for the soldiers that fought for are freedom.

  21. I thin Remembrance Day is still important in our lives nowadays, we can never forget those who fought for us and gave us what we have today, and we have to appreciate it. Those soldiers sacrificed their live to make ours better. I liked the assembly, I found I was very cool that there was a veteran from the Korean War there.

  22. My favorite part of the assembly was when the marine spoke about his time in the Korean war, I thought it was quite interesting and I went home to look up more on war veterans and their stories. I think we should remember soldiers by their bravery and their trust in each other, for example, during the push on Vimy, all the soldiers lives where put into the hands of the mortar teams. They trusted the mortar teams no to hit them, they trusted them with there lives and that's quite a brave feat. -Marcus

  23. The assembly was very interesting and a good way to remember all the soldiers that fought for this country. It was very cool that a veteran from the Korean War was there. I think it is very important to remember the soldiers because if it wasn't for them, we wouldn't be here now. For me, Remembrance Day was, is and always will be important for my life because there isn't another thing more important than remembering all the soldiers that fought for us.

  24. I enjoyed the assembly the best part was that it was nice to see the old soldier talk to us about what he went through and it was pretty scary for him to be going into war at such a young age.it is very important to remember the soldiers and remember what they did for are country and has they not fough for us we woulddnt be here today. It is really important for us to know what they had done for us . It's Canadian history
