Lest we forget
These murals are painted on the walls of the Smithers Legion, Smithers, BC. They remind us of the Canadian soldiers who lost their lives in W.W. I, II and the Korean War.
Remembrance Day is Saturday. Of course, this year we'll also be remembering Canadian soldiers who have died much more recently in missions like the one to Afghanistan.
