A touching tribute to members of Canada's military and peacekeeping forces.
Highlights:
A historic keepsake issued on the passing of the last known veteran of
the First World War. Coin features selective red enamelling to highlight
the poppy, Canada’s poignant symbol of remembrance.
Coin design:
A sea of poppies, one enamelled in vibrant colour to represent the
individual saga lived by each veteran of war; one of countless stories
played out in conflicts around the world—past, present and future.
Lest we forget.
Every poppy worn on coats and hats during the
waning, grey days of November is symbolic of
a life touched by war; the countless men and
women who stepped forward to serve the cause
of peace and freedom.
They witnessed the worst and the best of
humanity; served with selfless bravery; countless
acts that fell with their heroes never to be told.
And those who did return, part of them remained
lost forever.
Though veterans stand proud during tributes of
remembrance, their tears fall fresh as yesterday.
And, as 2010 claims Canada’s last known veteran
of the First World War, those of us who enjoy the
liberties bequeathed by his generations’ sacrifice,
pay tribute to their legacy.
