Frank & Cecile LaPointe ~ David & Evangeline Bertin

By Yvonne Legge

The war was finally over
All the fighting now is done,
With help from our Allies
The war had been won.

Homeward bound we now go
Our fallen comrades we leave behind,
But we shall meet another day
In another place and time.

They are gone but not forgotten
They are in our hearts and mind,
They will always be a part of us
Until the end of time.

Never again do we wish to see
The horrors that we witnessed there,
Just thinking about those terrible things
Fills our eyes with tears.

Let every day be Remembrance Day
Show those brave soldiers that you care,
And thank them for their courage
And the hardships they had to bare.

So if you see a veteran
Please take the time to say,
"I would like to thank you , Sir."
That would make his day.

Angus LaPointe Sr.

I dedicate this page to my Grandfather, Angus LaPointe, my Father, Frank LaPointe and all Canadian Soldiers who served our country in WW2. Thank you, Dear Family for your strength and courage and service to Canada. We are so proud of you!

 

Poem by John McCrae 1872-1918

Music by Barry Taylor 2003

In Flanders fields the poppies blow
Between the crosses, row on row
That mark our place; and in the sky
The larks, still bravely singing, fly
Scarce heard 'mid the guns below.

We are the Dead. Short days ago
We lived, felt dawn, saw sunset glow
Loved and were loved, and now we lie
In Flanders fields.

Take up our quarrel with the foe
To you from failing hands we throw
The torch; be yours to hold it high.
If ye break faith with us who die
We shall not sleep
Though poppies grow
In Flanders fields.
