Veterans' Week 2005
Each year, Canada marks Veterans' Week from November 5 to 11. This particular year is special because the Government of Canada has declared 2005 the Year of the Veteran. As a highlight of 2005 the Year of the Veteran, Veterans' Week will be a time to honour, celebrate, remember and thank all those who served Canada in times of war, military conflict and peace, and to teach our youth about remembrance.

Heroes Remember
Veterans Affairs Canada has recorded almost 1,600 hours of video and audio conversations with approximately 75 veterans of the First World War and another 675 Second World War and Korea veterans. These interviews offer rare and personal memories of those individuals who lived the experience, first-hand. Each interview has a story attached and makes up a bigger picture. Each piece makes it possible to tell a nation's history through the eyes of those who served. Now, VAC presents them to you so you can try to understand what these valiant men and women experienced and so that their stories live on forever.
