Mr. Speaker, as Remembrance Day approaches, we pause to honour those who never came home while also remembering those who did. Some returned carrying wounds we can see. Others carry wounds we cannot. More than 2,000 Canadians were wounded during the Afghanistan mission. This year, 39 more were injured in the tragic fire at CFB Wainwright. Behind every injury is a life forever changed, a family forced to adapt and a burden carried long after the headlines fade. A damaged limb, a lingering burn, chronic pain or the invisible weight of post-traumatic stress can alter a life forever, yet our veterans and serving members continue to show remarkable courage through recovery, rehabilitation and daily struggle. As we gather in remembrance, let us honour not only the fallen, but also the wounded. Their sacrifice did not end when the battle was over. It lives on, quietly and courageously, every single day.
