Thank you very much.
Your Excellency Governor General Johnston, Minister Kenney, Minister Fantino, Generals Lawson and Vance, and members of the Canadian Armed Forces, honoured veterans, distinguished guests, ladies and gentlemen.

Central to our national identity, central to our success as a country, central at times to our very survival.
