8-year-old David Patrick
helps his Uncle Bob Cloutier lay a cross during the rememberance day ceremony
at the Marysville cenotaph in Fredericton, NB, November 11, 2000. They were
laying it on behalf of David's grandfather (Bob's Dad) Jean Paul Cloutier
who served as a stretcher bearer with the Van Deaux regiment in the Second
World War. Below, Sgt. at Arms Ed Ferris, left, of the Marysville Royal
Canadian Legion Branch #15 salutes during the ceremony
as legion member Butch Bailey watches 4 year-old
Gage Merrett play on a field gun during the service. The gun to the vets brings
back memories of war, while to the child it is just a toy to play on.
