" Hearing the battle cry He chose the right side of history A century past Standing proudly as the defender. His aim so valued His stealth so skillful His honour and Inuit heritage In service to God and country. Across the ocean, his people Made proud, their native son Who rose to rid the world of evil The verdict written in his blood. Though asleep His memory sings And dances with the angels Where he stands guard to watch his children. John, a Soldier Whose desire for freedom, So compelling, his place In eternity is sealed In the greatest Company of all. (My personal tribute to John Shiwak of Rigolet, Labrador, who died in World War I)"   Submitted By: NULL
