AROUND TOWN: Soldiers and Sailors

I would be remiss to leave you with the town square and not show you our veterans memorial. It was erected in 1919. It envisions Lady Liberty with a WWI soldier and a WWI sailor on either side. On the memorial are the names of the Toronto soldiers who served. It was restored in 2004 and now serves as a memorial to all who have served. The names of all who died in service are etched in brick surrounding the memorial. Five Toronto men just left a few weeks ago to go to Iraq. Let's just pray that this mess is over soon and that we won't have to etch any more bricks.
