The Hill Times
KAMOURASKA, QUE.—“Old soldiers never die—they just fade away.” This observation by American General Douglas MacArthur has never rung truer, especially in Canada today. Fewer and fewer of our veterans are around to remind us of their past sacrifices in the Second World War and in Korea, and their comrades who did not survive stayed in the theatres of war. When my father, Philip “Pip” Caddell, died in 2004, we buried him next to my mother at her family’s plot in Quebec City.
But those who survived deserve to be remembered with distinction, as well. And that is the objective of Peck and MacArthur: to ensure secure government funding for the cemetery. The solution, as Peck said, “is to put financing on a fully sustainable footing.” There are significant issues of upkeep: the flat stones need to be raised from the ground before they sink down, and the grounds need to be maintained in all seasons.
