Remembering Fallen Heroes

By JENNIFER PAIGE

number of ceremonies were held throughout

Minnedosa on November 10th and 11th in order to
honour those who gave up the comforts of home to answer the call in defending the values that define us as a
free and democratic nation.
Services were held at Tanners Crossing School and
Minnedosa Collegiate as well as the annual community
ceremony at the Minnedosa Community Conference
Centre.
Minnedosa Legion members also made a special
point of visiting the Minnedosa Personal Care Home
to facilitate a special Remembrance Day ceremony for
residents.
A number of our residents have a very diffi cult time
getting around and are unable to attend the community
ceremony. We are lucky to have the Legion members
come here to allow residents to take part in a Remembrance ceremony, commented Brenda Hales, care
team member at the Minnedosa Personal Care Home.
Legion members lead the ceremony that included
a number of hymns, the national anthem and God Save
the Queen.
Natasha Pearen, minister from the United Church
spoke and, World War II veteran flying instructor,
Archie Londry recited, They Grow Not Old and In
Flanders Field.
PCH residents, Steve Clark, Ruth Delmage and
Joan Hardwirk were dressed in their legion attire for
the ceremony.
Remembrance Day off ers all Canadians a reminder
of the men and women who serve in our military, the
sacrifi ces that have been made and the importance of
keeping them a priority in our hearts and minds as they
continue to take on our countrys conflict.
