There was a touching Remebrance Day ceremony at Saint Anselm’s Catholic Church on Millwood Road Tuesday (November 11, 2014). David Nespolo is a Grade 7 teacher at the adjoining Saint Anselm’s School. He is a member of the band of the Governor General’s Horse Guards reserve armoured regiment. In addition to orchestrating a lovely ceremony for the students and church community, Mr. Nespolo was joined by some colleagues for a Highway of Heroes ceremony to commemorate the 158 soldiers who died in Afghanistan. Celebrating with Saint Anselm’s was Bob Reid, singer and songwriter of the song Highway of Heroes. He concluded the morning’s ceremony with his acclaimed song. At the end, a procession was led by students holding photos of the fallen soldiers. The photos were placed in front of the school and left there in order to allow community members the opportunity to pay their respects to the fallen soldiers.
