A fund raiser
for fallen and still fighting troops, we
have lost a soldier from Port Colborne and
have people still fighting so we decided
this is the least we could do. Its going to
be held at the Windjammer in Port Colborne,
we will have a band and items to be drawn
for. We are hoping to raise money to donate
to the Wounded Warriors, we have also asked
everyone to wear red as it is red Friday.
Anyone is welcome!

A
tribute song for Remembrance Day
Written by
Tim Ronan
And I Sang |
I
remember, the sounds of bombs o'er my head I
wrote a letter lying on my deathbed
And I sang
A lonely soldier, I thought of my first kiss
The bullets flying, watering eyes of bliss
And I sang
Closing my eyes, I took my last breath
As I sang
Broken and shattered, I held you in my mind
Only matter, only spirit will you find
And I sang
