On 18 February 2010, Comrade John Babcock, the last known Canadian Veteran of WWI and HonoraryLife Member of The Royal Canadian Legion, passed away.  He was 109. His passing has marked The Endof an Era. It is our honour to recognize those who served their country and it is The Legion’s duty to keeptheir memories alive. With this I am very pleased to present our very first Military Service RecognitionBook from the Manitoba and Northwestern Ontario Command.

Our Provincial Command would like to thank all those who submitted information for this book. Also,we extend our sincere thanks to the advertisers and donors. If not for your crucial financial support thishandbook would not be possible.

They shall grow not old, as we that are left grow old;

Age shall not weary them, nor the years condemn.

At the going down of the sun and in the morning

We will remember them.

The soldier stood and faced God,

Which must always come to pass.

He hoped his shoes were shining,

Just as brightly as his brass.

"Step forward now, you soldier,

How shall I deal with you?

Have you always turned the other

cheek?

To My Church have you been true?"

The soldier squared his shoulders and

said,

"No, Lord, I guess I ain't.

Because those of us who carry guns,

Can't always be a saint.

I've had to work most Sundays,

And at times my talk was tough.

And sometimes I've been violent,

Because the world is awfully rough.

But, I never took a penny,

That wasn't mine to keep...

Though I worked a lot of overtime,

When the bills got just too steep.

And I never passed a cry for help,

Though at times I shook with fear.

And sometimes, God, forgive me,

I've wept unmanly tears.

I know I don't deserve a place,

Among the people here.

They never wanted me around,

Except to calm their fears.

If you've a place for me here, Lord,

It needn't be so grand.

I never expected or had too much,

But if you don't, I'll understand.

There was a silence all around the

throne,

Where the saints had often trod.

As the soldier waited quietly,

For the judgment of his God.

"Step forward now, you soldier,

You've borne your burdens well.

Walk peacefully on Heaven's streets,

You've done your time in Hell."

Author unknown

Prayer for Our Soldiers

"Lord, hold our troops in your loving

hands.

Protect them as they protect us.

Bless them and their families for the

selfless

acts they perform for us in our time of

need.

I ask Lord.

Amen."
