“ The grim fact is that we prepare for war like precocious giants, and for peace like retarded pygmies. ”

~ Lester B. Pearson

Of all our dreams today there is none more important - or so hard to realise - than that of peace in the world. May we never lose our faith in it or our resolve to do everything that can be done to convert it one day into reality.
As a soldier, I survived World War I when most of my comrades did not.
