WWI centenary celebrations

Beautiful work.
I'd point out the Vimy and all other memorial events, are "comemorations" for those involved with those events. There is nothing to "celebrate" about war....

In Canada , it is considered a celebration and a commemoration. Vimy is seen as Canada's coming of age so it is poignant mark in our nations history. The battle of Vimy ridge holds a different meaning in different countries.

Just an FYI, I will be attending the Vimy memorial and a friend also attending found this and told me, as I don't know that I would have found it myself, you must register to attend the Vimy event by February 28th or be denied access, so visit http://www.veterans.gc.ca/eng/rememb...00-anniversary
if you're planning to be there.
