 Fellow Sinclusions, my people, Remembrance Day has been on our calendar of events for years now, and addressed by the head of state being one of its cardinal features. By now, we must be saturated to dripping with knowledge of the horrors of war. For my part, I have never tired of hearing the same thing repeated over and over, especially when always so nicely prepared and delicately served, who can never not be entranced by our police band, serenading us softly. No matter what our state of mind, it never fails to be so refreshing. And as for Remembrance Day, reflections on what a day of war today might have been for us should make every other day as bright as the sun, no matter what our circumstances, rich or poor. Since our first parents, life has been for all the most sacred of possessions, so precious that not even with all the treasures of the world can we preserve it. To voluntarily place one's life in danger, the reward must truly be worth it, therefore. It will be recalled that when the disciples were called, contemplating the hardships to be endured, they asked Christ what reward was there for them, to which he replied, eternal life. And Christ himself endured the cross as the goal before him was the salvation of mankind. When our people in 1914 and 1939 joined the rest of the world and faced the enemy, determined to wipe us out from the surface of the earth, whether in fiery flames by skinning for leather or by evisceration or worst, they could not have been offered eternal life as a reward. But like Christ, they all faced death that we might live. And it is estimated that altogether approximately 100 million died for us. They did not die in vain for it is 73 years since the end of the last war and 100 since the first, come 11th November. In evaluating the worth of each who went to serve, those who survived are not to be seen as less valuable than they who died. For however humble the contribution, it is of equal value in the final analysis. Be it that one was a kitchen hand and another in the front line. We ask not what did you do but only were you there. Presence alone is enough with or without scars to show. Every November in particular we help relieve the distresses of surviving veterans and their families. Those who neglect to do so are ungrateful and lose the right to be called sentlosions. On this 100th anniversary, let our generosity surpass by far all previous years by giving as much as we can for a simple puppy. Providentially, after 73 years, the propeller of the Indian ship, the Umtata, which was sunk in the Cassus harbor by a German submarine, has been found. An indication that we too were under the radar of the Germans. I expect that this unique treasure will be used to generate revenue to help veterans and their families in need. With tourism flourishing in St. Lucia as it is. Finally, as a token of their appreciation for your good works, I humbly invite you to receive from me this prayer composed by me, which has been my strength and fortification, almighty and self-subsisting God who knows and sees all things. Even our most secret thoughts, I come to you for grace and guidance and mercy and prudence and patience and tranquility of spirit and eternal life and a spirit of gratitude and thanksgiving and a spirit of charity and strength to bear all things gladly for your sake and pray that your laws will be the light to my feet. That's what I want. I thank all who have been working in the vineyard to help veterans keep body and soul together for so doing, you too will receive your reward, peace and love. Fellow Sinclusions, my people.
