NSCL-21

Nova Scotia/Nunavut Command of The Royal Canadian Legion www.ns.legion.ca 9 Project Chairman’s/Editor Message As project Chairman, it is an honour and a privilege to present the 2021 edition, the 17th book in our Veterans Service Recognition Book (VSRB) series. All of these books are produced in an effort to honour, acknowledge and remember the contributions made by so many brave Canadians who have served, not only in times of war, but also during many peacekeeping and peacemaking missions. We also recognize and support those men and women who continue the proud tradition of service to Canada throughout the world in the Canadian Forces and the RCMP. During these past 18 months we have endured the revolving door pandemic we call Covid, with temporary branch shutdowns and very few branch meetings, so I understand why the submissions for this edition have been lower than previous years, but I offer my sincere thanks to all of the Legion branches and members of the general public who took the time to support this publication by contributing biographies and photos. I would also like to thank the many businesses, groups and individuals who continue to generously support these publications through advertising and through personal financial donations. As always, I wish to thank Fenety Marketing for their continued partnership and shared expertise in the production of these books. I would also like to recognize and thank Comrade Gary Siliker, CD, for his continued contributions, and Florence Br.#083, District A, for allowing us to re-print portions of their Remembrance Book. In closing, we look forward to issuing the 18th edition of the VSRB series in the fall of 2022, and if you would like to contribute to the 2022 edition, please use the form at the back of this book and send it to our Command office. In Comradeship, Steve Wessel Project Chairman / Editor Veterans’ Service Recognition Book
