今天一大早BUBU就跟我說要帶你去一各地方~~
洗好澡後馬上出發因為十點就開始~~
我說要去哪拉很冷ㄟ
原來今天是Remembrance Day
什麼是Remembrance Day?and why is today?
他說:It’s for all the wars
WW1 finished on the 11th month (November) on the 11th day (Today) at 11am.that’s why there is a moment of silence today at 11
it’s a day to remember all the soldiers who faught for our country!
到了那裡有超過一千人在那等著所有ㄉ軍人入場(在大草原)國旗也只升一半
有點嚴肅ㄉ感覺~~BUBU說前面的老人就是哪些存活下來ㄉ軍人,再WW2他爺爺也想加入戰爭但是年紀太小就被趕回家,他很愛國又跑去另一個地方問說他可不可以加入,他又被退回所以他一值都沒機會位加拿大打戰,當他年齡到可以打戰ㄉ時候戰爭有已經結束~~~
轉回 Remembrance Day
後來就先唱加拿大ㄉ國歌
O Canada!
Our home and native land!
True patriot love in all thy sons command.
With glowing hearts we see thee rise,
The True North strong and free!
From far and wide,
O Canada, we stand on guard for thee.
God keep our land glorious and free!
O Canada, we stand on guard for thee.
O Canada, we stand on guard for thee.
唱完國歌後就 lat post and two minuts silence(這時候我還東張西望看看有沒有人偷偷講話,原來只有我偷偷ㄉ講話很尷尬雖然也沒人聽到我在低估什麼,BUBU叫我安靜2分鐘就好這是尊重)大約在十一點大家一起禱告後來又唱
ABIDE WITH ME
Abide with me; fast falls the eventide;
The darkness deepens; Lord with me abide.
When other helpers fail and comforts flee,
Help of the helpless, O abide with me.
Swift to its close ebbs out life’s little day;
Earth’s joys grow dim; its glories pass away;
Change and decay in all around I see;
O Thou who changest not, abide with me.
Not a brief glance I beg, a passing word;
But as Thou dwell’st with Thy disciples, Lord,
Familiar, condescending, patient, free.
Come not to sojourn, but abide with me.
Come not in terrors, as the King of kings,
But kind and good, with healing in Thy wings,
Tears for all woes, a heart for every plea—
Come, Friend of sinners, and thus bide with me.
Thou on my head in early youth didst smile;
And, though rebellious and perverse meanwhile,
Thou hast not left me, oft as I left Thee,
On to the close, O Lord, abide with me.
I need Thy presence every passing hour.
What but Thy grace can foil the tempter’s power?
Who, like Thyself, my guide and stay can be?
Through cloud and sunshine, Lord, abide with me.
I fear no foe, with Thee at hand to bless;
Ills have no weight, and tears no bitterness.
Where is death’s sting? Where, grave, thy victory?
I triumph still, if Thou abide with me.
Hold Thou Thy cross before my closing eyes;
Shine through the gloom and point me to the skies.
Heaven’s morning breaks, and earth’s vain shadows flee;
In life, in death, O Lord, abide with me.
唱完我已經冷到不行,我ㄉ手都不會動ㄌ,只好拜託bubu一起回去
不過這算是很有意義ㄉ一天雖然我第一參加這種活動,感覺加拿大人真的很愛自己ㄉ國家連在路上看到坐電動輪椅ㄉ阿伯都掛著國旗還有一朵小花
身為台灣人的我頓時覺得好羞愧,在台灣我從來不參加這活動也不喜歡升旗
Anyways我有一個難忘ㄉ一天,明年我還要在參加紀念這些英勇ㄉ戰士
