Many men traveled across land and sea,
To fight for their country and what they believed.
Some were fortunate and came back alive,
Others will never return for they gave their lives.
We set aside a single day a year,
To remember those and shed a tear.
For it’s because of them we are standing here,
They fought for our freedom, let’s give them a cheer.
We wear a poppy to show our support for them,
We remember them all, the women and men.
On November 11^th, take time to send,
A message of thanks to those living and dead.

Garry W. Bell, November 4, 1992

REMEMBRANCE DAY

This Sacred Day Within Our Hearts
Stands Out Above All Others,
For At This Time We Homage Pay
To Our Lost Sons And Daughters.

We Pause To Think Of Those Who Died
For What They Thought Was Right,
With Faithful Hearts They Plunged Against
The Vain Oppressors Might.

All O’er The World These Wars Have Raged,
On Land And Ocean Wide,
And In Each Place Our Gallant Ones
Have Bravely Fought And Died.

Though We Build Monuments Of Stone,
Or Place Bells In Church Steeples,
Their Memory Lives Within The Hearts
Of Freedom Loving Peoples.
