On a clear and crisp November 11 morning, St. Charles parishioners gathered to remember those “who served our country in times of conflict and in times of Peace”.
Ron Labbe did an outstanding job of incorporating the Remembrance Day service into the Tuesday morning daily Mass. “In Flanders Fields” written by Canadian poet Lt. Colonel John McCrae, was read by Aaron Russell, Ron’s daughter.
The presentation and laying of the veteran’s wreath was done by Retired Captain Bob Simmons and Retired Chief Warrant Officer Lynda Ann Smith. The wreath representing the widows was laid by Polly Moore accompanied by Retired Master Corporal Simon Lemay. A poignant and evocative rendition of the Last Post and Reveille was played by trumpeter Chad Desrosiers.
Thank you to all those who prepared and participated in the morning ceremony which gave us the opportunity to “stop and reflect on the courage and sacrifice made by those who paid the ultimate sacrifice on our behalf so many years ago”.
