Remembrance Day is a day to honour those who have served our country and on Friday, social media did just that.
Several Remembrance Day hashtags were trending in Canada, including #Rememberthem, #lestweforget, #Remembrance Day, #VeteransDay, #JourDuSovernir, #WeRemember and #remember, as Canadian citizens, organizations, sports teams, athletes and politicians on social media paid their respects to veterans.
Today, we remember the Canadians who have served our country and fought for freedom around the world: https://t.co/9qw5e6tboP #RememberThem pic.twitter.com/XnS9OgSenp

Perhaps we can do better than just #RememberThem and learn from them by not starting any more wars
