DARRELL MARKEWITZ

"For Our Honoured Dead"
mixed media

Last year I attended a theatre opening and reception, very shortly after Remembrance Day. In the room was a plinth holding a book — a Book of Remembrance, which held the names of all those who had died from that town in Canada’s wars. I was outraged to see how the unthinking would litter the Book with their empty glasses and garbage.

Regardless of your attitude towards War, soldiers continue to die in your place and at your command. A people will be known by how they respect those who placed themselves to be killed for the welfare of all.
