Pat Wilton. &#8220;(Soldiers) have given so much of themselves so we could have the life that we do.&#8221;<\/p>\n<div style=\"float: left; margin-right: 14px;\"><strong><broadstreet-zone zone-id=\"45658\" keywords=\"\" soft-keywords=\"true\" zone-alias=\"\"><\/broadstreet-zone><\/strong><\/div>\n<p>Each year, the vigil begins on the evening of November 10 and continues through the Remembrance Day ceremonies on November 11th with the cadets standing still and silent out of respect for fallen soldiers, family members here and gone, and locals who have served or will one day serve.<\/p>\n<p>In groups of four, the cadets, along with other veterans and volunteers, rotate through 30-45 minute shifts, standing guard through the night no matter the weather. &#8220;It has rained on us, it has snowed on us. It&#8217;s cold out there tonight, but this is important,&#8221; said Wilton.<\/p>\n<p>The winter temperatures of this past weekend, with heavy snow squalls earlier in the day Saturday followed by clear skies in the evening, had the young men and women geared up with long-johns, extra socks and parkas while on guard.<\/p>\n<p>Warrant Officer 2nd Class (WO2) Emily Cain has participated in five overnight vigils. &#8220;It is important to remember veterans and fallen soldiers because they fought for us and gave us our freedom,&#8221; she says.<\/p>\n<p>Flight Corporal (Fcpl) Carson Turney added, &#8220;A lot of people never made it home. We can never thank them in person, but we can do this for them and for their families.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>During the vigil, people are welcome to visit the cenotaph and take a moment to reflect on its significance and to take photos, and there were many locals doing just that throughout the night. The cadets and other volunteers appreciate the community support.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><strong>Don\u2019t miss out on Doppler!
