Remembrance

by Marc Leroux,Marc

This will display the name of a Canadian soldier who died on the current day during the Great War (1914-1919). The displayed name will be updated on a periodic basis. As Remembrance Day approaches this is a great way to remember thos that gave their lives for their country. The names are drawn from the Canadian Great War Project database, accessible from the context menu.

    please, m leroux, please try to figure out why on my laptop and my desktop, no names ever appear, whether i use a transparent background or white. xp 64 bit or vista, it works on neither machine. and i would be honored to see the names of the great war dead on my desktop--their sacrifice was immense
    5 stars for idea, 0 star fors execution, so i guess the avg is 2.5

    Out of all the widgets that are on here, this one means the most. I just started using this widget program and after searching through the widgets, I just came upon this one now. I can't express how much I thank you for making this. I had a grandfather who served during the 1st world war and although he made it home, many thousands of our brave men and women did not. "WE MUST NEVER FORGET" and "THOSE WHO FORGET THE PAST...ARE CONDEMMED TO REPEAT IT" Thanks Marc.

    Both my grandfathers served in the Great War, one as an enlisted in the trenches, the other as a cavalry officer. My great-uncle was killed in the War as well. Thank you from my heart for this remembrance, for my family, for all the families who lost loved ones, and also for all those who laid down their lives for family, King, and country---whose names are known by none save God. Merci bien.
