Freedom Is A Gift But Its Not Free
On November 11th of each year, we take the time to
remember the ultimate sacrifices that so many men and
women have given to our country from halfway around
the world. At Remembrance Day services across the
country, we hear the names of the fallen Canadian soldiers and we lay wreaths to
honour the bravery and courage that they displayed in the battles they fought.
Remembrance Day is more than just wearing a poppy. It is a day that we recognize
the many Canadian men and women who have answered the call standing tall so that
we may live in peace.
After the World Wars, there were many soldiers that did not come home who were
instead laid to rest. These soldiers families did not get the chance to say their final
good-byes, never mind have the chance to welcome them home. These soldiers never
had the opportunities to raise their families or to hold their grandchildren in their arms.
They gave the ultimate sacrifice to Canadians. Lucky for us, my two great-grandfathers
were both welcomed home from World War II, leaving the battles behind them. They
were able to lead the lives that we wanted and were able to create lasting memories with
their children, grandchildren, and great-grandchildren. For this, we are thankful.
Still today, many brave men and women continue to fight for Canadas freedom
and are stationed in countries on peacekeeping missions. These brave Canadians
step foot onto dangerous soils everyday risking their lives and hoping that they will
one day again walk onto Canadian soils to be welcomed home by their loved ones
and not be brought home in a flag covered coffin. Canadians stand behind these
heroes every day.
To me, Remembrance Day is more than just wearing a poppy. It is a day that we need
to express our gratitude towards many
courageous men and women. These
are people whom we may never
know or meet but who have served
our country and have impacted this
countrys history. As Canadians, we
need to remember that our freedom
is a gift which is certainly not free.
To My Grandpa
Dear Grandpa,
Grandpa, you were called home to continue your journey in heaven on July
10, 2010 but my life on earth has continued on and now another
Remembrance Day is here. We are all wishing that you would be heading off
to the Legion service in Crystal City today to pay your respects to your fellow troop members and
remember the days you served in the war. However, I know you wouldnt want us to just sit here
wishing that you were going there. Instead, you would want us all to go to our services in our towns,
pay our respects, remember your days of service, and think about the Canadian soldiers that are serving
overseas today.
I know you didnt talk much about your war life until one of your grandsons thanked you for
fighting for our country. Even then you didnt exactly open up. However, I do remember the time last
June, the day before your 95th birthday party, when you told me the story of having to trade cigarettes
just so you could eat a supper of lobster that night while you were serving in the war. Another wartime
story came to light just before you passed away when you told me that I got my musical ability from
you. I listened to you tell me the story of you having to choose to play either the trumpet or the drums
in order to get a leave. You decided to play drums because you were not the best trumpeter. Your
wartime stories were few but the ones you told helped me understand your past life experiences and
what wartime was like.
From your time in war, I know you wished that people would have learned from the first two World
Wars so there never would have been events like 911 and so our Canadian troops didnt have to fight
in Afghanistan and Iraq today. I can just imagine how you felt when you heard on the news that another
Canadian soldier was killed fighting for our country. These events must have
reminded you of the days you sat in the trenches watching battles take place
and how unnecessary they were.
Grandpa, today as I go to sing in our schools Remembrance Day choir and
march and play in the community band, I will
sing and play a little louder, prouder and more
confident than ever before because I know that
you fought for my freedom. I am very proud and
honoured to be your great-granddaughter and to
have called you Great-Grandpa.
Love always,
Your Great-Granddaughter

T
here is hardly a Ukrainian Family in Canada that hasnt sent at least one
son to the Military Services. There are many families that sent four,
five or even six sons. It would appear that the Wasyl & Annie
Strank family of Rossburn, Manitoba stand first - they sent eight of their
sons to the Armed Forces.
Mr. and Mrs. Strank lived in the Village of Rossburn. Mr. Wasyl Strank
came to Canada in 1903 from the Village of Banyliv, Ukraine. Mrs.
Annie Strank (Pardinuk) came from the Village of Kadabeski, Ukraine.
The Stranks married in Canada. Besides the eight sons in the Armed
Forces, there were three daughters and three sons still at home.
All eight brothers joined the Forces as Volunteers.
Mrs. Strank had been selected as a Silver Cross Mother, but was unable to
make the trip to Ottawa to place the wreath.
Wasyl passed away in 1965 and his wife Annie in 1985.
