Most countries have a place where their war dead are remembered. In France it is the Arc de Triomphe. In the United States it is Arlington National Cemetery and the National Mall. In Canada, the National War Memorial serves this function. It was designed to honor the 60,000 Canadians who lost their lives in World War I. Since then its purpose has been expanded to serve as a reminder to all of the more than 100,000 who have given their lives for Canada in wars around the world. The monument depicts 22 military servicemen passing through a granite arch under statues representing Peace and Freedom.
