CP24.com readers were asked to share their Remembrance Day stories with us, whether they participated in the war or grew up with a loved one in service. These are their memories and the photos that have defined their experience.

Memories

I've always wanted to visit Vimy to honor my grandfather who was wounded there.

When I first arrived and saw the Canadian flag with the memorial monument in the background I felt something inside me that I had never felt before.

It was the pride rising out of my body.

After touring the site I sat below the memorial and thanked the Canadian soldiers for making me proud to be a Canadian.

Thanks,

Grant
