Several times during the ceremony the Men’s Choir sang songs of peace and fellowship. President of RCL Branch No. 39, Comrade Terry Kuzyk welcomed everyone then while he said today we pay our respects for those who have fallen, let us not forget to look around and recognize the veterans in
our presence and the serving members who are veterans in their own right. “This year marked the 75th Anniversary of the Invasion of Normandy; commonly known as D-Day-June 4, 1944. This was a turning point in the Second World War and led to the eventual end of hostilities. There were 14,000 Canadians landed at Juno Beach; the Royal Canadian Navy contributed 110 ships and 10,000 sailors.” Kuzyk continued to read greetings from Prime Minister Trudeau, MP Shannon Stubbs and MLA
