Cabot Trail truckers: Remembrance Day thank you

We have a wreath-laying ceremony at the local cenotaph at Indian Brook every November 11th. The cenotaph is set only slightly back from the road -- the Cabot Trail in this instance. There is major construction and road rebuilding going on north of us and all of the trucks hauling gravel and sand and asphalt have to travel the road past the cenotaph. Just after our two minutes of silence, as the prayer before the laying of wreaths was to start, we could hear the boom and rumble of several trucks approaching. And then they stopped, just in view, but far enough away so as not to disturb the ceremony. Our thanks go to the truckers, who even though on a very tight schedule, took a bit of time to honour both the war dead and this community, and to Clay Carmichael, who was instrumental in helping us to show our respect today without having to compete with the traffic.
