“Spending a night in the trenches is an experience I will never forget. Many children my age see Remembrance Day as just another day off school and not as a time to reflect on and remember those who served for our country. Digging a massive hole in the ground is definitely easier said than done. It got very cold at night so I was thankful that I brought very warm clothing. My favorite part about digging the trenches was going on a walk around patrol at night. I enjoyed learning how to use one of the military radios. I’m glad we were able to participate in the Remembrance Day ceremony because I’m truly thankful and appreciative of all the men and women who served for our country so that we may be free. I have no regrets going on the trenches trip and will definitely do it in years to come.”
