Physiology exam. No doubt bells were ringing throughout most Canadian cities and communities. It has been almost fifty years since men from our area were sent en masse to war. The younger generation of our communities study the wars, recall stories their grandparents may have told them, and every November attend Remembrance Day Services and perhaps write a poem or essay for the annual Remembrance Day contests. For most, however, it is difficult to imagine witnessing almost an entire generation of young men lost to war. It is difficult to imagine having to watch your brothers and perhaps even your father leave to go to war, with the uncertainty of knowing you may never see them again. This was reality for many families in the St. Peters Bay area. On that hot summer day in July of 1994, Angus MacLean stated, "Remembrance implies more than just remembering."

They Chose to Serve and the War Memorial erected in front of Quigley Memorial Hall display that the "Remembrance" and respect for our local boys will remain a permanent fixture in the history of our communities for many years to come. i ^
