A day to remember
and a reminder to never forget.
National Field of Honour,
Pointe-Claire, Quebec.
11th hour,
11th day,
11th month
Cadets from Royal Military College,
Saint-Jean
Voices from a local choir
Last post,
2 minutes of silence,
Reveille,
and the moving bagpipe’s ‘Flowers of the Forest’
On the hundreds of veterans’ graves,
school children had come to place poppies…
Someone standing next to me turned and said:
“Let’s hope these children never have to see what other’s have seen”
