Praise For Those Who Served
Well, to the fella that passed away, I feel that it was very unfortunate they died. I believe that had they survived, and we might have been in their place, they would have felt the same way as I do now. That’s to the fellas, the fellas who did survive, I feel very happy for them. For they’ve had a chance to live, get married, have families, and pass on their heritage. It’s just something, a lot of these young men never did have a chance. Now, we’re very fortunate that we in this country, it’s unfortunate that people don’t recognize it more, and speak about it more. But we have a beautiful country, from Newfoundland right over to British Columbia and to the Territories and Yukon. And we are all human beings. And we enjoy each other’s company and pleasures. And to the young people of this country, this is yours, and let’s remember that there’s been a heavy price paid for it. Protect it, and live freely. And always remember, there’s always a second opinion. And above all, love one another and preserve peace.
