Context refers to recent comments by Bishop Victoria Matthews that the Christchurch Cathedral is 'being left to die with no dignity' because of ongoing legal battles about its future.

To those silent sentinels,
the guardians of the night,
who insured our peaceful homes
and sheltered our children from fright.
We give our thanks and praise
for the sacrifice they bore,
and pledge always to remember
their gift of service in war.
Gerard A. Geiger March 23, 1996
