Story by Stephen J. Thorne

Remembrance Day has passed. Now remember this: Without a comprehensive
plan to re-equip the Canadian Armed Forces for the challenges that lie ahead,
our soldiers, sailors and aircrew are placed at an unfair and unnecessary disadvantage.

Heroes and villains

Story by Mark Zuehlke

On July 10, 1943, the 1st Canadian Infantry Division—about 18,000 men—stormed ashore in Sicily as part of Operation Husky and filed into the island’s mountainous heart. The division had been the first Canadians to deploy to Britain in December 1939. Now they marched to battle. As they pushed toward Mount Etna, German resistance stiffened, but their unflagging tenacity prompted the Germans to nickname them the “Red Patch Devils” after their divisional shoulder patches.

Never Losing Sight Of The Mission

As you might imagine, this time of year is incredibly busy for our staff and our core volunteers all across the nation. A lot goes into placing over 1.5 million wreaths!

First, I want to say thank you to all those who are working so hard. You make the mission go, and mission to honor our veterans and their families, is what is near and dear to all of our hearts. I love your dedication.

Second, this week we got a chance to see the new Wreaths Across America video and we think it is a GREAT way to introduce the mission to someone who might never stopped to think about why we honor our veterans. Please share with the people you care about.

And lastly, to help make that sharing easier and fun, we decided to run a 100 wreath (plus the toy truck set) drawing, and you can team up with your friends to increase the chances those wreaths will be placed at your participating location of choice. Click the link above to enter for a chance to win and honor at least 100 of your local veterans!

Story by Stephen J. Thorne

Russian efforts at propaganda and disinformation are old hat to Latvians and the citizens of other Baltic states now under NATO protection, but Moscow’s current blitzkrieg of online false news and blistering political criticism still poses a formidable challenge to Canada and our NATO allies.
