World War One Fallen to be Honoured
Beginning at sunset, 4th November 2008 World War One Fallen soldiers will be memoralized by illuminating their names onto the the National War Memorial, an attempt to personalize their valour. Nine thousand names per night concluding on the 11th. Four other cities will be part of this project--London (UK), Halifax, Toronto and Regina. The idea of including these cities is a metaphor for the soldiers making the reverse journey. The commemorative act of this rememberance is significant for all generations, the first of its kind. I will be watching the webcast and I hope that people across this great nation will too.
