Amen — by Mary Ann Burdett
Terrace Branch 13 Pacific Command
Royal Canadian Legion

Sixty years of undaunted service
Sixty years of loving care

How proud we can be in 1986

To be a Royaj Canadian Legionnaire.

From the Great War Veterans Association
And the British Empire Service League
Has sprung this mighty organization

With “Service to Others’’ as its Creed.

Through war and peace and conflicts
We've reached out a helping hand

The Branches with their Ladies Auxiliaries
Working together throughout our land,

And now in this Anniversary Year

We pause to reflect on our glorious past
And draw from these reflections — strength
To carry on our chosen task.

We must look unto our motto

So wisely chosen for this year

Pride in our past, Faith in out future
And we must carry on from here.

We shali welcome open heartedly
Our Asssociates, NOW - not bye and bye

’ For tis to them we pass the torch

It is to them to hold it high.

We shall teach and help them all we can,
Instill in them our hopes and pride

So the Royal Canadian Legion can carry on
Into the future, On a rising tide,

We shall continue to think reverendly

OF those who have passed away :

We shall continue to help those less fortunate
That we shall encounter along our way.

Be this the goal of each Legionnaire

To ensure that the future, bright will be

As we join hands and hearts across this land
In celebration of our Diamond Jubilee.

It was a perfect day recently for a picnic at Lakelse Lake park for many northwest families.
