| OTTAWA - Thousands of Canadians gathered around memorials in big cities
and small towns across the country Saturday to pay tribute to the men and
women who have died in war.

chilly sky old vets and young children stood by the Tomb of the Unknown
Soldier as a trumpeter played the Last Post.
As they saluted fallen comrades, a young woman held up a sign covered in poppies that conveyed a simple but powerful message: "Thank You". Every Nov. 11, at the stroke of 11 a.m., Canadians take two minutes
to remember those who fought in war.
