Remember and Responsibility: The Battle of Vimy Ridge

Remembrance Day just passed last week. This day reminded a lot of people about what the soldiers that sacrificed their own lives did: protecting the country and it's people. So this post is pretty much about the battle of Vimy Ridge. After seeing some pictures about the battle, I thought about a lot of things. For example, aren't the soldiers scared, seeing that so many of their comrades had died? Well, I don't know. But I suppose they think protecting the country and it's people is more important than their own lives. This may or not affect some you, but just looking at the pictures will surely make you think of something. When I looked at the pictures, I was thinking if it was worth it for them to sacrifice their own lives for the sake of the country and the lives of other people. Well, I guess they did it because they their friends or other people die, so they don't want other people to have someone they know die. So, I think it was worth it in a way, because they fought for the happiness of others, even though they might not get anything in return. The sacrifices of the soldiers affected me because it made me feel sympathy towards the soldiers that knew someone that died and the soldiers that died. I have nothing else to talk about, so I'll post again next month (I think).
