Poor Bob Wakeham; he tries so hard in his column (“Lest we forget,” Dec. 11) to be nasty, but instead, he makes us grateful for his extensive list of fallen Newfoundlanders — all of whom, we are so proud of. These souls are, indeed, always part of our current lives.
What poor Wakeham has missed is that they, as well as Danny Williams, have lifted our beings to even higher levels of freedom and self respect.
Thanks to poor Wakeham, we now know these fallen soldiers by name.
Because of their ultimate sacrifices, we now have yet another reason to thank them for Mr. Williams’ hard-won freedom to speak up and improve our lot.
No, Mr. Wakeham, we shall not forget either them or Mr. Williams.
