Mr. Speaker, as Remembrance Day approaches, I think of family members who sacrificed so that we may live in peace. I think of my father's uncle, John Schramm, who served in the navy. Great-uncles Gordon Schramm and Eddy Hanowski served in the army. Eddy was severely injured in Holland. On my mother's side, I remember my great-uncle Ronald L'Italien, who paid the ultimate price for his service to Canada. These sacrifices are remembered by generations, from my parents to me and to my son, who wrote this poem: Today as I awake The war takes place No breaks are there Where the war takes place They fought together Where the war takes place The poppies grew as fast as the Flash Where the war took place They had to choose between their country or their family Where the war takes place The soldier is a lion when he is on the battlefield Where the war takes place They all go home After the war takes place May we never forget.
