I will now add your grandfather to the people I thank on this day.
Here's a little history about the poem, in case any of your Flist isn't familiar with its history (I don't know if it's something that is recited outside of Canada or not, embarrassingly enough). Those verses always made me cry whenever we spoke them aloud in school; they still make my heart hurt, to this day...and I'm one of the lucky few whose relatives survived.
