Memorial
While wandering around the municipal cemetery in Camrose, Alberta, I happened to come across the marker you see here. Although this young man lies thousands of miles away from this small prairie town, his family has ensured that visitors will know exactly where to find him.<P> This picture was taken in the summer of 2006. -
