Honouring those who served
A profound appreciation for the people of the Legion and a reminder that doing the right thing often comes at a great cost. The experience of our veterans offers clues to our prosperous and independent survival.
A personal commitment
My profound appreciation and affection for the people of the Legion drive this commitment. I believe that doing the right thing often comes at a great cost, but it is a cost that must be paid for the betterment of our community and our nation. We accepted that there is a relationship that comes from community, and an obligation that comes with citizenship.
Lessons from our veterans
The experience of our veterans holds valuable clues to our prosperous and independent survival. Their dedication and sacrifice highlight the importance of community and the obligations of citizenship. The path forward is not solely for veterans to walk, but for every Canadian who wishes to leave a country worth living in for generations to come.
Recognizing extraordinary service
Branch 613 is an extraordinary example of an organization that truly understands the obligations of citizenship. On behalf of the Regional Municipality of Niagara, we honour all our veterans and service members, and we share the pride of their families, friends, and colleagues here in Pelham and across Canada.
"As a veteran myself, I spoke at Veterans' Appreciation Day today, underscoring my deep commitment to those who served."
