[QUOTE="gst, post: 219224, member: 373"] just got back from Sherwoods Memorial Day service. For the last 81 years the Canadian Legion has came down to the border and exchanged flags and a shot of whiskey with the Sherwood Legion Post and then accompanied the Americans into town to be honored at the roll call service. They have been accompanied by representatives of the RCMP and the last several years a young group of drum and bagpipe corps has came down and marched with and it is a very nice memorial. It was said today that it is the only cross border service on Memorial day. It is a solemn thing as the lights go down in the gym to see the pictures or those who served and died played out on the screen. So many pictures of young men and a few women that gave the ultimate sacrifice on the battle field and those that served and passed on later in life. The sound of taps playing in the darkend gym with the white tombs of Arlington and other veterans cemetaries playing on the screen reminds one of what was given by those brave young men and women and why we must never forget the cost of freedom. Have an honored Memorial Day. [/QUOTE]
