The Warrior's Lament
In honor of the many foreign, Canadian and Labrador soldiers that have passed through Happy Valley - Goose Bay we pay tribute with a song by Canadian song writer Sierra Noble titled The Warrior's Lament.
Sierra is a great Canadian talent from Winnipeg, Manitoba of Metis descent. She played this song in 2007 at Vimy Ridge on the 90th anniversary.
