My father-in-law was a medic in WWII, my father was stationed in Halifax in WWII I feel it is important for the current and future generations to be aware of the sacrifices so many made so we can be free today. I am currently trying to get information of their time in the forces. I have been able to obtain a lot about my grandfather but none about the other two.

Le projet "Nous nous souviendrons d'eux" est un bijoux. Tellement de programmes liés à l'éducation, à la culture et à l'intégrité historique ont été coupés avec le gouvernement Harper. C'est désolant.
