The Royal Canadian Legion Dominion President Dominion President Tom Eagles said it best:

More than ever, it is a time to share our experience of war, of pride and of country. We have had so many different kinds of warriors in this country, from the women, European immigrants to Aboriginal women, who have stayed at home to care for families, business and factories,  as their sons went off to war.  Nearly one third of the aboriginal men between 18 -45, Métis and Inuit soldiers, went to war for Canada along with their other Canadian men of the same age in World War One.
