They kept a rendezvous with faté as men unlike any other Canadian before or since. They bespoke the explosion of an energy and purpose that had been steadily building in a coun- try that had finally found its From page 19 stride. That had opened the West and known nearly two decades of surging growth. They were different. But the real historical significance of Canada's Returned Men is that they gave the nation its soul. As one of them put it, '"We went up Vimy Ridge as Albertans and Nova Scotians. We: came down as Canadians." Make a sale Investment Safety at work pays.

It took a few years to work out the' for- malities, but she became an in- dependent nation. They made her one, yet many of us seem to forget this. Perhaps it's because so many of them kept so'much of it to themselves, a massive memory jealously shared only with those who knew its roots. Perhaps it's because many of them are still alive, grand- fathers now, and great- grandfathers, but mortal, com- mon men with all their frailties, scattered fragments of a distant epic. Their deeds might have to wait for time to burnish them to myth. Or perhaps it's because of the fortunate irony that so much Canadian history was made so far away. If Vimy were in the St. Lawrence Valley, Passchen- daele in the Cypress hills of Saskatchewan, if the 100 Days had liberated Ontario, it would be the way it was in the United States, where thousands of peo- ple drenched themselves in the miriad details of their Civil War. It isn't that way here, but that's not the fault of the Returned Men. They fought their war where it was, and they richly deserve to be remembered. They deserve the place in our history that the United States reserves for soldiers of Bunker Hill and Get- tysburg, that Britain reserves for its sailors who fought at Trafalgar and for the Few of the Battle of Britain. When you see them marching in their thinning ranks today, take a closer look at them. You'll never get a closer look at historic figures. They have never found their Homer, but they did Homeric things.
