Their contribution to the war efforts of their times was in growing and supplying food to the troops. This was part of the deal when Canada and US invited them and provided free passage to thousands of Russian Mennonites. There was so much open land, that people like these were needed to farm it. <br />I still have a copy of the contract, but I'm no pacifist. Had I known myself better, sooner, I would likely have signed up.<br />There were those sons and fathers from our communities that did serve, against the wishes of the church.<br />Some died,naturally, fighting for their adopted country.<br />The Town and Church refused until 10 years ago to allow a town memorial.<br />Very,very sad.<br />The day the monument was complete, I watched the old men who had fought for it break down in tears of remembrance, and in gratitude for the long awaited recognition.<br />It was one of the most moving moments of my life. It opened my eyes.anonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03703233313854600531noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1060614279393262320.post-75925374901020608232009-05-25T07:52:22.398-07:002009-05-25T07:52:22.398-07:00Added Kudos to you Pearl!
