IT WAS A COLD AND STORMY MORNING. The citizens of Campbell
River braved the elements to witness the annual march of our war veterans,
respecting those who have passed and those who are involved in keeping the
peace these days.
Frank and I stood in a doorway across from Spirit Square in
the downtown core, and joined in the pride and remembrance of the people who
gave up so much for our freedom. We chanted O’ Canada together without a lead
singer and clapped our mitten-covered hands as the Parade Marshall directed his
obedient followers in a sure-footed stomp along the roadway. It was a humbling
scene of young and old men and women dedicated to our right to safety, free speech and
orderly conduct.
Everyone was invited to gather at the Royal Canadian
Legion afterwards to be served a free lunch. God bless the Ladies Auxiliary and
their humble dedication to service. The Campbell River Legion Pipe Band made
themselves known by circling the tables and blasting their tunes. Ah, the
bagpipes.
Until next year…
