“Lest we forget” 🇨🇦❤️

A simple yet powerful reminder to pause, reflect, and honor the brave men and women who served — and those who continue to serve — for the freedom we enjoy today.

We remember their courage.
We remember their sacrifice.
We remember them — always. 🌺

Happy Thanksgiving, mga kababayan!
Today, we celebrate not just the feast on our tables but the blessings we’ve received all year long. Let’s take a moment to be grateful, for the small and big wins, for the strength to overcome challenges, and for the love that surrounds us even miles away from home.

Maraming salamat sa suporta, sa kabutihan, at sa pagiging inspirasyon ng bawat isa sa ating Fil-Can community.

May God continue to bless you all with good health, happiness, and more reasons to be thankful every day.
