To most of to-day children the war is. history. They know it is a day each year to think about another generation that died for them. If we can't remember We should think as we gather around our local war memorials. These Canadians gave their lives in order that we might be free to live in peace. As sadness rushed into our hearts we should give thanks that we are alive and able to enjoy the beauty around us and the excitement of a baseball game and the dozens of other things that they too hoped to enjoy. Those who perished in battle will never receive the honor due them for their sacrifice which gave us the freedom, joys and privileges we enjoy today. As citizens of Canada we should keep them close to our hearts. we must realize that the free- dom of democracy which provides our school systems, our nations position in World affairs, was due to those soldiers who fought so valiantly to make this possible. Let us' wear our poppy proudly and remember its significance the blood red for the blood shed by the many injured and the black centre for the death toll paid. We w111 remember the fallen soldiers of two World Wars with a "thanks" in our hearts and a tear in our eyes. ' Greater love bath no man than this: That a man lay down his life for a friend. REMEMBRANCE DAY THOUGHTS OF ' 72 (By Bob Bryans) November '18 was the date of the treaty, It was signed by men that were great and mighty, And since this was the war to end all war The cry of the bugle would sound no more. No more would the cannon rend the sky, No more would warships shudder and die, No more would proud parents wait and fear That the casualty list would name someone dear. But something went wrong with the plans of men, For by '39 they were at it again, And once more was a mother's prayer the same, Let not the list contain my son's name. Twenty-seven years passed since the end of the fight. A new generation his come into, its right, TO ahem, the word i‘ war" 14 only s word They know not the anguish caused by the sword. May a loving God then forever Shield, From the blood and the stench of the Battlefield, And may loving parents ne'er have to sveep For sons, who in strange lands are forced to sleep. May this new generation never lose sight, That the ease that is theirs was not won without fight, And tho' death through years has thinned veterans' ranks it would gladden their hearts if we pnly said, AoThanks"', Ma•MikeliNAMAMM, 4r7 ' sc • ,r.'5cst*,%:5:' • • • mmme2vgamosturAmee-mgm,Vmg.tmaltaitefeinatemaaftataVAVOtattA• 14—THE BRUSSELS POST, DECEMBER 13, 1972
