Hana: Thank you for sharing your amazing journey with us. You are a gifted writer and it is easy to tell you have a sincere and compassionate heart. More young people need to experience the personal stories of those who sacrificed their lives for the freedom we enjoy in our part of the world. Our community needs more Hanas.

Hana, What an amazing tribute to Roland C Reid. I was deeply moved by your words. I come from a military family and can only imagine having to hug a loved one off to fight in a war. We all need to remember the past and try to learn from it. It is truly a honor to know you. You are an amazing young woman.

Hana:
Aa a retired service member (RCN) I cannot imagine the tribulations service people had to endure during any conflict or war. In my career I experienced a few moments where I thought all my training would be put to the test but fortunately was not. It is young and humble citizens like you while reading your words make me even more proud to have served my country and committed to the “ready aye ready” motto to protect democracy around the world and wonderful people like you. Please keep this passion in your heart and will be forever grateful.

We are so very proud of you Hana for this beautifully written essay about Roland C Reid. Also glad that you were able to view the site in Belgium and appreciate the experience that I doubt many teenagers would not appreciate like you did.
