Liberty School District and Liberty Elementary School are located adjacent to Liberty Cemetery in Petaluma, which the Royal Canadian Legion US Branch #25 helps to maintain. Earlier today the branch once again distributed poppies at the school’s annual Veterans Day assembly.
Earlier today Royal Canadian Legion Branch 25 President Michael Barbour participated in a Veterans Day Ceremony hosted by Touro University California on their campus, which sits on the former Mare Island Naval Shipyard. The event was littered with poppies, and had a Canadian flare with the reading of “in Flanders Field” and the laying of a Royal Canadian Legion wreath. Below are some of the pictures from the event.
