Today, we reflect on and remember all of those who served our country with pride. We remember all of those who came home injured, those who came home with unseen injuries, and those who paid the ultimate sacrifice for peace and freedom. #CanadaRemembers

Our shared heritage is a unifying force. #Indigenous Peoples have a place in that heritage which warrants its own commemoration. That’s what National Indigenous Veterans Day is all about and why we proudly celebrate it.

Indigenous Peoples have long stood as defenders of this land, and their contributions deserve meaningful recognition. That’s why we mark Indigenous Veterans Day on 8 Nov. Why not refresh your knowledge? This is a good start: https://t.co/1n7pqD940a

The poppy is a solemn reminder of those who came before us and sacrificed so much for our freedom, and the many of them who paid the ultimate price. It is worn from the last Friday in October until Remembrance Day. Here is how the poppy is to be worn while in uniform. 1/2

As Women's History Month draws to an end, we would like to emphasize that these stories are not limited to a single month. We are thinking of all of the trailblazers who made the Army what it is today, and are inspired by the women who are continuing to shape the future.
