To go to the drug store in Lunenburg, Nova Scotia, one needs to park at a meter in a lot next door to The Royal Canadian Legion, which is advertised by several versions of the sign above. I missed the Latin words around the inside the first time I saw the signs, and the next time, I brought my camera. MEMORIAM EORUM RETINEBIMUS, we will hold on to the memory of them. The Legion is the largest former service organization in Canada; more information here, along with a mini-version of the same sign.
Frequently in a newspaper you may see listed among the obituaries remembrances, or announcements published in memoriam. Be careful to notice the spelling; memoria, ae f. memory is a first declension noun, so it must end in the letters -am.
