Monday, November 15, 2004 - Prime Minister Hon. Dr. Kenny Anthony has
pledged further assistance to the St. Lucia Branch of the Royal Commonwealth
Ex-Service League by increasing its subvention in the next financial year.
Dr. Anthony made the disclosure at the Remembrance Day reception held at the
Prime Minister’s Official residence on Sunday, following the annual parade on
the Derek Walcott Square.
He further echoed a call by Patron of the Ex-Service League, Her Excellency Dame
Pearlette Louisy for the involvement of young people in the annual Remembrance
Day observance. He said “But I think Mrs. Pilgrim gave us vital advice; she said
let us start perhaps with the children”, Prime Minister Hon. Dr. Kenny Anthony
said.
Dr. Anthony said while the involvement of young people was critical to
sustaining the survival of the league, the entire St. Lucian community should
embrace the contribution made by those who sacrificed for the sake of freedom.
