Wreaths were laid, and a pair of flyovers took place as the City of Woodstock remembered those who have and those who continue to serve the country.

WOODSTOCK - Hundreds of people packed Victoria Park Cenotaph in Woodstock to remember the veterans.

The Remembrance Day ceremony was filled with wreaths being laid as well as flyovers. Legion Branch 55 Member, Ron Findlater was thrilled with the turnout.

"The numbers are always great to see, and this year I was really pleased to see them. I think there were maybe 4 classrooms of students here, and we've often had lots of students, but never en masse, I think like we did today."

Findlater says if we will always remember, it is important to make sure the kids know what they are supposed to remember and why. He mentions that every battle our soldiers were involved in holds a special place in how our country has been shaped.

"If we don't take the time to remember what took place from 1914 to 18, 1939 to 45, the Korean War, and the years of peacekeeping and Afghanistan and the rest, who knows where we would be."

Findlater says it is important to learn from our mistakes, and the freedoms we have come at a cost, and we need to appreciate them and the sacrifices it took to get them.
