Twenty-two Maple Leaves on Marble--Twenty-two Canadian Young Men Taken Too Soon--Today at the Rome War Cemetery we Remembered Them.
A friend emailed me today and commented on how "Canadian" it makes you feel to see fallen soldiers with a maple leaf on their gravestones in a far away land. Well, he is absolutely right. Not only does it remind you of our Canadian freedoms it makes you feel proud to be Canadian. Today twenty-seven embassies placed wreaths on the commonwealth memorial monument. If even the peoples of those twenty-seven countries would unite to pray for peace in our time -- Lord make it so. Lord, make me an instrument of Your peace; Where there is hatred, let me sow love; Where there is injury, pardon; Where there is discord, harmony; Where there is error, truth; Where there is doubt, faith; Where there is despair, hope; Where there is darkness, light; And where there is sadness, joy. ~St Francis You Are Always in Our Prayers. Love Mom.
