Decoration Day: Remembering Canada's Forgotten Fallen

A Window into the Canadian Experience During the World Wars

On a blustery Tuesday roughly 14,000 Canadians stormed ashore at Juno, Gold, and Sword beaches on D-Day. The veterans' protest that followed became an annual memorial event known as Decoration Day, a somber occasion to commemorate the sacrifice of Canadian militia members killed during the First and Second World Wars.

Decoration Day serves as a poignant reminder of some of Canada's forgotten fallen, providing a glimpse into the Canadian experience during those tumultuous times. Through the stories of veterans and their families, the event sheds light on the tremendous sacrifices made by Canadians during the world wars.
