Curt - Remembrance Day 1991 (inset-Clair)

"A solemn Curt Soderstrom, Sgt. At Arms of Legion No #2 in New Westminster, salutes his fallen comrades on one the most miserable Remembrance Days in decades. Veterans made their annual parade to city hall Monday for the laying of the wreaths at the cenotaph despite the driving rain"

(“The Columbian” newspaper-New Westminster-1991)

...I continue to be saddened by the fact that these young men, just shy of being teenagers did so much and were willing to die for a cause of inhuman injustice by one group to another and world domination by a mad man. Clair was so young and died at the age of twenty-one. Both he and Curt were in the service….

…The primary function of living, I believe, is to make memories for other's that follow. Clair will always be twenty-one good looking happy and living an adventuresome life. He will always be a young bright eyed smiling and good person…

...Your article has really set my mind at ease, thanks for your time, your interest, and above all how well you did the job of research and writing. Writing like music lives forever while conversation last a very brief time. Excellent work on a very important part of living and for this piece of unforgettable family history. Thanks
