freedom

_ “It’s his medal for dying,”’
said Canadian Navy veteran Roy
Greening in explaining the death
of a friend and the reason we

wear the red poppy on Remem-
brance Day to over 600 Skeena

- Junior Secondary students at the

R.E.M. Lee Theatre last Thurs-

day morning. ‘‘So wear it

-proudly,”” he said, ‘And think a

of what Butch did for you.’’
Greening told the students of
his brief friendship with Butch,

-a Shipmate who served with the ;

Royal Canadian Navy in the
Atlantic during World War II.

Their time together was a time .

of tension, he explained. ‘‘When

you’re patrolling the Atlantic a

it’s like being behind enemy lines
all the time... you never know
when you’re going to get hit.’’
Because of the tension
though, it was also a time of fast
and strong friendships. He re-
membered one stop-over in
Gibraltar when Butch told him,
_ “If you ever need help, just ask
me.”? Words of true friendship
indeed... but it was a promise
‘that destiny denied. Butch was
dead in less than a week.
_ And because Butch died, he
was never allowed the privilege
of receiving or wearing the
_medal he so richly deserved.
“But I like to think he did get a
medal,’’ Greening told the stu-
‘dents. ‘‘And you are wearing
that medal — the poppy. Wear it
properly, on the left side by your
heart, just like the medals I wear
.— because it’s his medal for dy-
ing.
_ Similar words were spoken by
‘World War II veterans through-
out the Terrace area last week in
order to bring home the true
-meaning and cost of the English
word ‘freedom’. Whether an
elaborate ceremony like
Skeena’s, with music and slides
and a candle lighting ceremony
with the Last Post played by a
lone trumpeter. Or like most
others, a simple assembly in the

school gymnasium. The
message, the remembering, the
emotion — they were all the
same.

And when it came to the of-
ficial ceremony at the cenotaph
last Friday — they remembered.
Grandparents or great grand-

_ parents and friends of those rose
to the challenge and made the
‘supreme sacrifice, people who
will live with us forever. People
remembered and honored each
year — “Lest we forget’’.
