Lively

 

Location:  Greater Sudbury     N 46 25.224   W 81 08.574
At the corner of 6th Avenue and B Street.
 

This memorial is found at the edge of community park, well-manicured and taken care of.  Not many details appear on the cenotaph, mainly the dates of the major wars of the previous century and a solemn yet simple phrase of remembrance.  A cross with a laurel of peace nicely finishes the memorial.  No names appear on the memorial, nor any affiliation with a local Legion.



Marker text:
TO THE GLORY OF GOD
IN MEMORY OF OUR VALIANT DEAD
AND THOSE WHO SERVED

WORLD WAR I   1914-1918
WORLD WAR II   1939-1945
KOREAN WAR   1950-1953

A SOLEMN PRIDE MUST BE THEIRS
TO HAVE LAID SO COSTLY A SACRIFICE
UPON THE ALTAR OF FREEDOM

LEST WE FORGET
