This Christmas Eve
Remember Them Like
Never Before
Introduction:
Candlelight ceremonies began in the
Netherlands to show thanks and to
honour those who liberated the country
and its people from German occupation
during the Second World War.
In 1995, the people of the Netherlands
held a special ceremony to
commemorate their liberation by
Canadian forces fifty years earlier.
Dutch children placed lit candles on the
graves of Canadian soldiers and the
candles remained lit overnight in silent
tribute. Residents were drawn to the
cemeteries by the soft red glow of the
candles burning in the dark. As a result,
commemorative candlelight tributes
have
now become annual ceremonies in the
Netherlands and other European
countries.
The North Wall Riders Assoc. Steel City
Chapter are bringing this tradition home.
The North Wall Riders Association Steel City Chapter would like to invite
you and your family to a Christmas Eve
event to honour our fallen soldiers from
the Afghanistan mission. With your help,
we will light a candle and read the
names of each of the 158 Canadians
that paid the ultimate sacrifice for
freedom. The event will take place on
Dec 24th at Peace Memorial Park in
Hamilton Ont. The park is located at 85
East 36th Street. We will begin
gathering at 3:30 pm to prepare for the
sunset at 4:48 pm.

Commitment to Remember
They were young, as we are young,
They served, giving freely of themselves.

To carry their torch and never forget.
