LEST WE FORGET

They died for us Changed wrong to right Their sacrifice took us From darkness to light Our homes, our lives All things nice Would not be possible Without their fight November 11 And every day “Lest we forget” Let’s stand through the fray. Robert Krysak
My Grandfather, Joseph Kaszuba, fought in World War 1. He was injured twice: one time a bayonet in the arm. Joseph and Anna Kaszuba, my Mom’s Polish parents, and her and her brother, travelled by boat from Europe to Halifax and arrived May 25, 1929. They settled in northern Manitoba, running a farm for many years. The life my wife and I have been able to live…..the life our son has been able to live…..is because of their sacrifice, struggles and determination. We must never forget what our ancestors fought for, and the sacrifice they made. Enjoy the journey.
