I guess it was real terrible. And if you wanted to kill theP erson who started the war then you'd start another one and so it never stops. My Grandma told me that a kid from our family,went to war when he was 14 and he died at the age of 14. I thought that that was sad and both my great grandfathers died in the war. Today it would only take seconds and there would be no more earth. Anotherthing is today everybody is buying nucler bombs and missiles. If theystopped, all that money PP coulduse b a for the sick and the hungry. gry. All the movies now don't really show back then and I guess it shows a little what would happen now. They just wasted lives of people, ,the land, plants, and animals. Another thing I'd almost forgotten to men- tion that it is so sad to walk through a graveyard and see the markers of all the people who died in the war or to see it on television. Back then, everybody used the black people for slaves and now they are free living in Canada, but it took a civil war to free them. I am glad I live in Canada. It's free and I hope it stays that way. ! Remembering by Jodi Webster, age 12 I see the tears trickle down her face, As she stands before her husband's place. He is buried beneath the lonely cross, And she remembers that long ago loss. She was just a new bride' when he left to fight, To join the soldiers in their battle for right. She remembers those letters she held so dear, Telling how their love helped him over- come his fear. "I saw my friends die before my eyes, and I could never shut out their horrible cries. Dear God, please stop this senseless wastse, Give us peace and courage; and in a great haste. If I need to die to bring freedom for you, Darling, remember the love we have is so true •" As she places the wreath upon his grave, Her hands did tremble, but she was so brave. Had this war affected the world today? Was it a better place for children to play? Have we learned to show respect and love for others? and with Ggd's help are we living like brothers? As I watched her leave the cemetary today, I realized the price those people did pay. Would I have been so willing to give? So that everyone else in freedom might live. Remembrance Day by Michelle McClinchey, age 9 Sarah and Paul are worried about their grandpa because he is in the war. They are praying that he is well. They are at their grandparents' house for vacation. Paul asked, "When will grandpa be home?" "Heshould be home in two weeks" said grandma."Who Who knows he might not be coming ..back." "I hope so" said Sarah. At that moment Paul, Sarah and their grandmother were really hoping that he would come back. In two weeks their grandpa had not returned. Now they were really worried. And for three days they did nothing but mope around the house. On the third day they were all in thee livingroom and suddenly someone said, "What are all the gloomy faces for?" Their grandfather was back and as -soon as he stopped hugging everyone hetoldthemall i . o e about t Y em r Rem nce b a Erin E ' Hickey, H ckey, age 10 November llth is Remembrance Day A time to thank all men who fought for our freedom Someone had to pay And now we have our homes and families. When I hear the sound of the trumpet I remember I remember Remembrance Day is ,a special day Because now our generation has freedom. Remembrance Day is a time to remember and be thankful We haveour skipping ropes and soccer balls We can all run computers and dance Remembrance Day is a special day. Remembrance Day is old soldiers marching; Proud of their past, Medals shining and now their only keepsake ° The years have gone fast.
