The Field of Crosses Memorial Project sits here in memory of those during the war in Calgary on Wednesday, Nov. 11, 2020.
The Field of Crosses is the inspiration of Calgary businessman and philanthropist, Murray McCann. Traveling in Georgia, Murray was deeply moved by how the community of Menlo, Georgia, with a population of less than 500, was commemorating their fallen by erecting crosses by the roadside. He realized how fortunate he had been to live his life in freedom because of the thousands of Canadians who had given their lives to make freedom possible. (Photo by Stephanie Mayan/The Press)
