At Drumheller’s cenotaph this Saturday morning, October 25, those who served their country paid tribute to those who have fallen. Local veterans stood in remembrance of the members of the Canadian forces who lost their lives on Canadian soil this week. Similar vigils are being held at cenotaphs in communities all across the country today. “To honour our comrades that gave their lives, and to pay respect,” said veteran Ed Laplante. “And to remember them.” Corporal Nathan Cirillo was shot Wednesday at the National War Memorial on the grounds of Parliament in Ottawa, and Warrant Officer Patrice Vincent died Monday after a hit-and-run in St-Jean-sur-Richelieu, Quebec.
