FREDERICTON (GNB) - Premier Susan Holt issued the following statement for Remembrance Day, Monday, Nov. 11:

On Nov. 11, New Brunswickers come together at cenotaphs and community centres across the province to honour and reflect on the immense sacrifices made by veterans, those who are currently serving, and the brave souls who have given their lives to defend our country and its people.

We recognize the courage of soldiers who have answered the call to protect our freedoms. Wearing a poppy is a powerful tribute to their service and shows our immense gratitude.

Join us as we take a moment today - and every day - to remember them.

Lest we forget.
