Branch 25 2025 Legionnaire of the Year: Margaret Krieger

Leave a reply

Due to a back order in the plaques from Dominion Command, we were unable to formally present the 2025 Legionnaire of the Year hardware to Comrade Margaret Krieger at our Branch 25 Holiday Luncheon this past December. Well the plaque has finally arrived, and after getting it engraved, we were finally able to present it to Comrade Krieger.

In the nomination of Comrade Krieger, the nominator wrote:

…this nomination isn’t necessarily for Comrade Krieger’s activities over the past 12 months (as has traditionally been the case), but as a recognition of her annual contribution to the Branch for at least the past decade. …in 2016, Comrade Krieger was the Secretary/Treasurer. During 2017 and 2018 she was the Branch Chaplain…, but in 2019… Comrade Krieger resumed her duties as the Treasurer for the Branch and has continued to perform those duties for the past seven years.

In addition to her executive duties, Comrade Krieger is a regular presenter in our services, often stepping in to fill duties for those who are unable to attend. Simply put, she has been a reliable presence in our Branch. It is for these reasons that I nominate Comrade Margaret Krieger for the 2025 Legionnaire of the Year Award.

Congratulations to Comrade Krieger!

Anzac Day Service 2026

Leave a reply

ANZAC (Australian and New Zealand Army Corps) Day is officially observed by the people of Australia and New Zealand in remembering the first time the two young nations fought together in a major overseas war. This historic event took place in Gallipoli on the Turkish Peninsular on April 25 in 1915 and is commemorated by expatriates, as well as their countrymen at home, acknowledging the sacrifice made by so many then and in subsequent international conflicts. While they wouldn’t join Canada for another 35 years, the Royal Newfoundland Regiment landed in Gallipoli in September 1915 and would fight alongside their ANZAC comrades until the Allied withdrawal in January 1916.

As such, each year Branch 25 of the Royal Canadian Legion joins the Australian American Chamber of Commerce San Francisco (SF Aussies) and the New Zealand American Association of San Francisco (SF Kiwis) to commemorate ANZAC Day.
