Some time ago during my vacation period, I traveled to Europe to tour the various parts of France．Our tour group was made up of forty—five travelers from different countries．My three friends and I made up the Canadian team on the bus．
As time passed we got to know each Other better and in some ways the new friendships that grew became as valuable and as memorable as the trip itself．
On the last day of the tour we were traveling through the peaceful French countryside when our guide came on the microphone．He said，“We are presently passing through World War I battlefields just south of Vimy Ridge．If you look to your right, just across the field there, you will see the war memorial that the people of France built to the Canadian soldiers who fought so bravely here．Even today some residents from the surrounding towns place flowers on the memorial regularly．My dear Canadian friends at the back of the bus, I would like to say thank you for the unselfish acts of your Canadian soldiers．”
Across the grassy field, the stone monument stood proud against the French sky．A Canadian flag rippled softly in the calm breeze．Lost in the moment, I could imagine the sights and sounds of war．Suddenly an unexpected wave of emotion swept over me．I felt great sadness for those men who never returned home to Canada, but at the same time my heart was filled with an enormous sense of pride．Tears welled up in my eyes．I was embarrassed by my uncontrolled reaction．As I turned around I realized that each of my friends had experienced the same feelings, their eyes also wet with tears．
