A new statue and memorial plaza are under construction in honor of the 75th anniversary
of Amelia Earhart's flight from Harbour Grace Airfield.  The airplane behind the statue
has nothing to do with Earhart.

Courage

Courage is the price that life exacts for granting peace,
The soul that knows it not, knows no release
From little things.

Knows not the livid loneliness of fear,
Nor mountain heights where bitter joy can hear
The sound of wings.

How can life grant us boon of living, compensate
For dull grey ugliness and pregnant hate
Unless we dare

The soul's dominion?  Each time we make a choice, we pay
With courage to behold the resistless day,
And count it fair.
