Hommage à nos vétérans_St-Quentin-NB,Canada - Non-Specific Veteran Memorials on Waymarking.com

C'est en mai 1991 que la première discussion du projet de construire un monument dédié aux anciens combattants eut lieu lors de la réunion régulière du conseil municipal de Saint-Quentin. Et, avec l'aide de la Légion royale canadienne, filiale de Saint-Quentin, un monument vit le jour. Plusieurs soumissions et modèles ont été présentés au conseil. On retena toutefois celle de M. André Valcourt, de la région de Saint-Quentin, qui offrait un monument de plus grande qualité, poli à cinq surfaces et d'une hauteur d'environ neuf pieds. À la suite de l'acceptation des plans, la construction du monument se fit en septembre 1991. L'inscription se lit comme suit : «Hommage à nos vétérans - leur souvenir vivra».
In May 1991, the first discussion of the project to build a monument dedicated to veterans took place at the regular meeting of the Saint-Quentin municipal council. And, with the help of the Royal Canadian Legion, a subsidiary of Saint-Quentin, a monument was born. Several submissions and models were presented to the Board. However, it was retained by Mr. André Valcourt of the Saint-Quentin region, which had a monument of the highest quality, polished on five surfaces and about nine feet high. Following the acceptance of the plans, the monument was built in September 1991. The inscription reads: "Homage to our veterans - their memories will live."
