Remembrance Day Soldier Cries (Soldiers Cry)

[@Madeves]

I often wonder how many people know that Canadians Soldiers ( not Americans, Brits, French or Australians) took "Vimy Ridge" after 4 DAYS. The English and French had fought the Germans for over 2 years and the most either side got was a few yards here and there. It was the battle that many believed was the Birth of our Nation as it was the first time the 4 Canadian Divisions fought as one. The cost to us was high with over 10,000 soldiers dying or wounded. Yet, it was a defining moment as, for the first time, Canada emerged from under the shadow of Britain. In 1922, with thanks from France, Canada received 200 acres of land in perpetuity and it is where the most exquisite Monument to our war dead is built (right on top of the ridge that the Germans held) and on the Monument, it is written, in French & English "To the valor of their countrymen in the Great War and in memory of their sixty thousand dead this monument is raised by the people of Canada." It took 10 years to build and was dedicated by King Edward VIII in 1936. Lastly, "In Flanders Fields" one of the best known poem sung or read during Remembrance & Memorial Day all over the world was written by Lieutenant-Colonel John McCrae who was a Canadian physician who was a medic during WWI. He wrote this memorable poem on May 3, 1915, after presiding over the funeral of friend and fellow soldier Alexis Helmer, who died in the Second Battle of Ypres. Canada has much to be proud of, not only in past wars but it is also the Country that started the Peace Keeping Troop, in the 1950's at the Panama Canal.. As the song says, " And the solders cried "Oh Canada I'd die to keep you free", which I would gladly do. I love Country so very much. Lest we forget!!!

I can't believe that people can dislike this! My grandparents are immigrants from Holland, which was liberated by the Canadian soldiers. Always thinking of my brother who is a soldier

[@mercian7]

Respect to you from the UK. God bless the Canadians who fought with us and still do.

[@bladieblaad]

Alot of your countryman lost their lives freeing my country Holland. I salute all of them. Thank you from Holland.

[@karr1111]

I love this song. I'm American, but Canada I love you and thank you.

[@taylortisdale6493]

I am proud to be Canada.Thank you, Canadian soldiers. You keep fight for our country, we will never forget. You know those 97 people who disliked? Apparently they are angry little 12 year olds who do nothing but play CoD and think violence, shooting, and terrorism is a joke. Thank you for reading this...

[@taylortisdale6493]

I am proud to be Canadian* Pardon me.

[@Cerridwen247]

I'm an American living in Canada with grandfathers and a dad who served in the US military. This song always gives me chills. No one can say that Canadians aren't as patriotic as Americans. Anyone who does needs a kick in the shins.

[@thatguyonyoutube807]

My great grandfather was in WWII, he was an aircraft mechanic as well as a soldier, although he did not die in the war, in which I am great-full for this as I was able to meet him, he has since passed, and it's videos and memorials like this that brings my pain for him back, it was him who inspired me to become an air cadet with the Canadian Department of Defence, and him who inspired my love for aircraft, and greater respect for those lost in battle. Rest in Peace all who fought, Rest in Peace Grandpa.

[@GammaGamma]

I am a Canandian Veteran....and I must say this is my favourite tribute video. Always makes me tear up. We Will Remember Them!

[@footincanuck]

"We'll never have a future if we don't remember the past" Unnamed veteran, you truly are a wise man. More people need to remember what we've gone through to know where we're heading. Thank you all for your service, especially on this Remembrance Day Lest We Forget

[@Dangl3Snip3C3lly19]

My heart just sinks when I watch these videos. I do not respect anyone as much as I repect these soldiers. They died for us, we live free because of these soldiers.

[@PaulHaselwood]

Beautiful song of remembrance. I am British but my great grandfather was French-Canadian and fought in the Canadian Army Medical Corps in WWI

[@57druid]

I like this. We should remember all the veterans, they died to save us all. I am a ex serviceman and proud to be one. My father was a national serviceman in the 50's.

[@GrrrIamMad]

Remembrance Day is about remembering the soldiers who killed and died. In both World Wars, Canadian soldiers rallied to the calls of King George V and King George VI to protect the British Empire. They fought under the Union Flag and the Red Ensign. They did not go their to protect "freedom" or "democracy". They went to protect the Empire, which means the land, the people, the culture, the laws, the values, the King and the honour. God Save our Queen and Heaven Bless the Maple Leaf Forever.

[@buttlick123598]

My father died in the war :'(

[@epic2588]

shame on those who disliked

[@thebigJM92]

Never, ever, ever will the brave sacrifices of the men of Canada be forgotten by the motherland. We in the United Kingdom will always hold a special place in our heart for all those men of the British Empire and the Dominions/Commonwealth who twice came to our aid in the fight against great evil. The Canadians showed their steel and their courage at Vimy Ridge above all else, the rightful birth of a new and great nation. Thankyou people of Canada.

[@ronaldjoe1081]

I remember watching this on global news few yrs back with my papa. He was a WW2 veteran with the PPCLI. Thank you to all the veterans who have served their country and to those currently serving.

[@Cerridwen247]

This song makes me proud to be moving from the US to Canada. God Bless all your soldiers.

[@schimpfkevin]

We watched this at school. Tears are coming.

[@Larrycat007]

I agree. This is not something to dislike or even laugh at. To those dislikers I would say rethink what your saying. These people are dying for us, DYING! Please rethink this those people.

[@shahzadaslam5111]

we salute to you Canadian army

[@shungus69]

How can 80 people dislike this. It does not matter if you like the choice of song or not, this song is a tribute to the fallen soldiers. From canada and abroad if you disrespect the people who have given their lives and those who are still overseas fighting, or defending their homeland, there is something wrong with you. Remember: to ensure freedom, all gave some and some gave all. Lest we forget.

[@McNubbys]

I am joining the US Army in Dec. amd I just want to say, thank you to our allies who have given us strength with there sacrifice and strength. Thank you from the bottom of my heart

[@Spam_433]

I will never forget, I have great uncles who served in World War two, my grandfather was in the air force, and went to Florida for the Cuban Missile Crisis. I've seen my mother leave for months at a time, my father trains the men and women who go serve in missions in Afghanistan. I'm enlisting in officer training in September.

[@xNARAxCRAZYA55x]

The thought alone, having someone i love, out there, and not knowing if he will survive or not, is already tearing me apart! I Pray for all the soldiers, may as many as posible come home.

[@Cerridwen247]

God bless you all Canada! We're grateful for your help and support here in the States from the US Civil War onwards because we couldn't;ve done it without you.

[@Smoops123]

I've been here 40 years out of my 41 years on this earth! Proud Canadian and proud member of the Canadian Armed Forces! Lest we Forget!

[@MrJimmyboy1972]

god bless you canada! these are sights that are seen all over the free world. as an ex soldier (scottish/british) a wee woman in pollok (glasgow), inverness, edinburgh, falkirk, aberdeen, perth, all over scotland, england, ireland and wales, share your sorrow, and your hope. the bad guys will not prevail. jim...xxx

[@georgerustic3817]

I remember my next door neighbor was a WW1 veteran he became my idol cause i knew in history an the stories of are brave men who thought for are country an i wish i was in his shoes to experience what it was like at that time.

[@10hab]

how can anyone dislike a tribute to those who gave their lives for our freedom? do they understand that without the sacrifice these hero's have made they would be living in a world without choices? from this PROUD CANADIAN I SAY THANK YOU TO ALL OUR VETERANS PAST PRESENT AND FUTURE

[@birdpremiumvideos8004]

Canada was the greatest fighters on the battle field I would fight for canada anyday

[@HelloMaster50]

How can anyone dislike this? these soldiers put their lives on the line for our freedom. No one should EVER dislike this.

[@Katcxze]

Kudos to the Fallen. Kudos to all those who risked their lives in every war this Earth has ever had.

[@Bloodshotshatterbone]

My Grandpa was an orphan and recently my Dad has been helping him to find out about his past and to see why he was abandoned. We haven't found much yet but we found out that an uncle of my Grandpa died in action in World War 1 while fighting the Nazis. R.I.P to all soldiers of any nationality who have died in war.

[@tara31227]

I'm lucky to be in canada

[@yorkie6687]

From an ex-seviceman in England, I would stand by your side any day, and anywhere in the world my brothers!

[@TheCosmodude]

God Bless all US,CAN and UK troops for keeping us safe and free from potential threats to our contries

[@TravisLoneWolfWalsh]

I am proud to be a Member of the Royal canadian Legion Branch 12 as a 21 year old Young man I understand many young my age and younger died unselfeshly and I am proud to say I am one of the only young people left to actually give a damn what those Poor men did for us

[@NMNNNfindtheM]

amazing song, thank you all for your sacrifice

[@clive2677]

Thank you and best wishes from Wales, UK. Shoulder to shoulder, forever.

[@Zebbadi]

Canadian forces have my total respect! god bless our forces - from scotland

[@TheToxicPenguin]

As a Citizen of Britain, I have serious respect for the Canadians, You are the brother that has stood by us through WW1,WW2 and every war since, You are the little Brother we found and raised until you was ready to leave and survive on yourself, I salute every Canadian Soldier that has died serving for their country and in history for the king/queen! you are part of the commonwealth and out closest ally! As a Brit, I thankyou, God bless Canada and God save the Queen!

[@iGame360fficial]

Who the fuck dislikes these kinds of videos? Bastard! Remember them, lest we forget. November. 11 Love you uncle Al and my brother Chris. Thank you.

[@ryanhay2171]

I AGREE THOSE HEARTLESS BASTARDS THEY NEED TO SHOW SOME DAMN RESPECT!!!!!!!!

[@taylortisdale6493]

I agree, people shouldn't dislike a video like this. Lest we forget.

[@Cerridwen247]

Those 59 people who hit dislike have no heart, soul or respect for their country or their soldiers. I'm an American living in Canada and I'm very proud to be the daughter and granddaughter of Veterans. And proud of the sacrifices they've made.

[@hilversum1968]

We will remember them!!!! The Dutch will never forget what Canadian (and also US and British) soldiers did for us in 1944-1945. Thanks Canada!

[@agent00puffball]

Canadian, American, British, French, German, or Australian. Any soldier that died in war gave their lives for their country and for what they believed was right. RIP soldiers of the world, your sacrifices will never be forgotten.

[@ryanhay2171]

To america canada france and many others we salute you

[@Kampf0100]

anyone who disliked this video, heart, soul, or respect for all our soldiers, current, past, living, and past on, if someone doesn't like a song like the one we're all listening to when we watch this, has never had someone in there life gone to war, I thank all the people who will wear a poppie over there heart, or have a yellow ribbon on there car, quad, or anything, I thank you for supporting, and remembering all of our dedicated men and women! MCpl. Lau, 1789 New Westminster Reg. RCA(army)C

[@ryanhay2171]

Britan thanks every single country who fought with us the reason we fight is because we take care of our friends why because it is what we are born to do

[@13hail]

61 heartles people how could they dislike this amazing song. it made me cry and i kno that means i respected them dearly

[@mikenessryan6255]

If our country wants all Canadians to fight for freedom I am ready to go!

[@1ldjones]

Whether or not you agree with what these soldiers have done, they are the men and women who have, and do today, risk their lives to defend your right to have that opinion, whether they agree with you or not. That is true character, and I will be forever grateful for the sacrifices they have made.

[@cfr7895]

i live i canada i am so thankful my papa aka best friend died in the war i love you papa

[@fandalyssa14]

That is so touching to see these veterans talking about the story... I could recognize the second place where the second veteran was speaking. It's in Courseulles sur Mer, in Normandy, France. I live 25 mn away from there. I'm so proud to live in Normandy by its story but also especially proud of Canadien soldiers came more than 67 years ago for saving French people ! Thank you, we love you !

[@kevinhoeg]

We will remember! My father was in WWII - RCCS. Thanks Dad & Mom! We will always remember....and will ensure your grandchildren remember.

[@mooseboys9]

[@sgtchris1000]

[@vincent4549]

Salute to canada im a canadian

[@griz144]

I am a veteran....I mourn the loss of my friends and fellow soldiers every day. Please do not let their sacrifice be in vain. Remember them, honour them. They gave the ultimate sacrifice for your freedom.

[@faithpenney3756]

I hade family in that war and i lost every one of them and one of them lived to see me born then died a couble min later so if eneyone dose not show them respect will have to answer to me

[@dufo883]

I'm serving under the canadian flag right now, may we never forget why our brother's and sister's gave their life for...they gave it for freedom...the gave it for their country and it's people...they gave it for something they believe in even more than their own life. You may not support their mission, but they didn't chose it. support your troops.

[@matand12345]

Thank you.

[@myheartgoesmmm]

I have been to a soliders funeral... and my parents are both soliders. I pray for them all. Amazing people.

[@rohitemanuel2831]

[@mike19821982]

from the UK, thankyou my grandfathers had nothing to except to say thankyou for loving the commonwealth, and as british I too say thankyou

[@CapKarlos]

Amen brother

[@HelloMaster50]

When you watch this video, it does not matter who you are. The people who have fought and died for our freedom can be respected but never repaid. They made the ultimate sacrifice for us. My grandfather was in the Korean War and I never met him. But when my time comes and I meet my Grandfather in heaven, I will thank him for fighting my freedom and my way of life. I am not asking for a thumbs up, but I think the more people that see this comment, but it would help pass this message to everyone.

[@poupoule22]

Lest we forget! Chimo!

[@WaiferThyme]

My father was a military firefighter i remember how hard i cried when he was deployed to ontario for training for 5 months when i was 11. I cant imagine sending a father, a brother, a sister, a mother , to Afghanistan for a year. God bless these brave men and women and their families for the sacrifices they make.

[@teresa4834]

I love Canada.

[@blakerwalk]

I have nothing less than the utmost respect for the men who put themselves on the line for all the joys of life we have today.

[@donaldsonj20002000]

Canadain and America are Bothers In Arms...I am an Airman in the USAF....and I thank the Canadian Brave.....When I am overseas...you are my brother and will always be.....where ever God send me

[@tasharules]

Before I joined the military, I never truly felt remembrance day like I do now, now I understand what remembrance day is all about. When a fellow soldier loses their life overseas it seems to hit harder now, makes me wonder "What if that was my friend, or me?" The bond we have is hard to explain, best way is to say we are just one big family.

[@CrazyCharlie91]

Brilliant video with a very powerful song behind it, RIP too all the fallen soilders whether it's the past, present or future, god bless you all & thanks for doing everything you can too keep all us safe xx

Young lads and lasses all. They'll never feel the days of winter, they'll never know weakness, they'll never know sickness. For them it shall always be a warm summer, their spirits will be strong and well being will stay with them for all time.

[@Khaki674]

I am in Air Cadets (Canadian) and Remembrance Day at school was the hardest. Seeing all the people crying. One of my teachers has a son who attended and only one person (the nicest girl I know) came up to him and shook his hand, crying her eyes out while thanking him. That moment made me tear up and I'm tearing up right now just typing it. Lest we forget.

[@lindakostin514]

This is such a wonderful song. We will always thank God for the men & women who gave their lives for our country to be free; as well as not forget those who came home as wounded soldiers who need our love so that they emotionally heal;- as well as our support financially.

[@Zwiko10]

Eddie, There will never be peace in this world I'm afraid my friend, but Ill be proud of you. My eldest son has just joined the army.. he says he wanted to followed my footsteps, I just pray to god I don't loose him too ;(

I can not press more on everyone's hearts how greatfull my country and I are for all those Canadians and me being from Arnhem, also those brave Brits for liberating us. If I had a hat I surely would take it off!

[@ZorgonTheAwesome]

As much as I disagree with war and the reasons for going to war, and the people leading all these people to war... No one can disagree and disrespect the people willing to put their lives on the line to protect us. Respect, and RIP all soldiers.

I love Canada and I love this song about Canada. I stand by you Canada here from the USA

[@JimothyLahey]

I truly live for those who gave everything to make sure thought we live without oppresion. I pray for those who did not get back home.

My dad died in war. every time i hear this song i cry i hope this never happens to all the good out there.. "We Died To Keep You Free" Rip Dad no name given

[@82RoadDog]

@amberfwn That is a very sad but very true statement about how we, as a people, tend to continuously make the same mistakes. What is even more sad is the fact that innocent people and the brave men and women serving their countries as well as their families pay the price through blood and tears. God Bless the Troops and may He keep us all safe and watch over all of us in these crazy times. I am an American Vet and I proudly call those remembered and honored in this video my brothers and sisters

[@Bloodshotshatterbone]

It's 1 in the morning. My eyes are burning but I can't stop watching this.

[@TheCcarroll12]

I watched this video today at school for my school's remembrance day ceremony. After hearing the ordeal of a wounded Afghanistan veteran and watching this video I was brought to tears because I actually listened to the lyrics, and they have such great meaning I don't know how someone can dislike this song!?

[@MrXray2011]

I wish to thank any Service man...or woman, who is reading this... You put yourselves in the firing line every day to keep us safe. God Bless You. R.I.P all soldiers who have lost their lives in every war (apart from the Taliban) From the UK

[@Purluc]

We are too far removed from the lessons of the past. Most of us have no idea of what true hardship and bloodshed are like. Most have no idea what Pillars our soldiers are and how they are the thin Wall between us and re-learning those lessons. Blood, sweat, tears and the Hardship of the few are the Shield for the many. The shield that most never even notice. I hope that there will never be a time again when they will be forced to notice that Shield, and Fear its failure... God Bless the Few!

[@MultiDocdoom]

The maple leaf flys high in the land with no hope, to bring peace, we the Canadians,Americans,British, and all the other peace keepers in the world will never give up until the job and war is over!! All the flags fly high and won't ever come down until it's over! God bless us and our soldiers.

[@KelliReimer]

Thank you to all who have served and are serving our Country, and the oh so many sacrifices for not only us as a country but those that we protect. Oh so very proud to be a Canadian. Thank you!!!

[@geoffharestad5260]

Thanks from the bottom of our hearts for serving.

[@msbutler59]

As a retired American Serviceman I found this video to be very sweeeeeeeeet. 5 stars and inspirational. I am honored to have served with the Canadians. It is too bad some sad soul had to desecrate this video with his disrespectful comments. Less than 1% of a nations populace serve their country. There will always be those haters who have a right to voice their hate, a right available to them due to the sacrifice of their fellow citizens. God bless Canada.
