Military Historian Keith Boehmer looks ahead to Canadian Remembrance ceremonies in the next decade as the Second World War veterans pass away.  Who will lead these ceremonies?  What elements may change?  Will Remembrance Day still be relevant to Canadians? Join Keith in exploring these challenging questions.
