Nova Scotia/Nunavut Command of The Royal Canadian Legion www.ns.legion.ca 47 “Greater love hath no man than this…” These words should be inscribed on every stark white cross That marks a warrior’s grave. Yes, they died for you…you were their friend even though they never knew your name, For you were Canada to them… You were the hurrying faces they saw…the girl who waved from a passing car… The small boy who watched their train go by; you were their Canada. They did not begrudge the price they paid, they died trusting that you would carry on… Knowing that you would carry on. You were their countryman. Can you measure their sacrifice? Mark it down in dollars and cents? Judge the value of a man’s life blood? You cannot measure it; you cannot equal it. The utmost that you can do is pitifully small… For theirs was the greatest love known to man or God… “That a man lay down his life for his friends.”
