We Will Remember Them

How can you support our veterans? Mainly through the Poppy Campaign held each year from the last Friday in October to November 10th. The money raised provides aid to Veterans in financial distress, as well as funding for medical equipment, medical research, home services, and long term care facilities. All money raised during the Poppy Campaigns is held in a trust and expenditures must be approved by B.C. Yukon Command. Approximately 7,000 poppy envelopes were mailed out to everyone and boxes were distributed to various businesses and schools in the Cowichan Valley. Donations can also be dropped off at the Legion. Wreath Orders may be ordered until Thursday November 9th on line MalahatLegion.ca or by email to: rcl134@shaw. ca or drop by the Legion any Friday or Saturday. Freedom is not free (Anonymous)

It was the veteran, not the reporter, who gave us freedom of the press. It was the veteran, not the poet, who gave us freedom of speech.

It was the veteran, not the campus organizer, who gave us freedom to demonstrate It was the veteran who saluted the flag, who served beneath the flag and whose coffin is draped by the flag.

Thank a veteran if you love your freedom.
