Branch Participation Through The ANAVETS Unit #19 (Mexico) in Chapala Memorial Day Service

Several of our members are based in Mexico and, in addition to being members of our branch, they are also members of the Army, Navy and Air Force Association in Canada (ANAVETS) – Unit #19 (Mexico).

The ANAVETS Mexico chapter was requested to assist as the working staff for a Memorial Day event by the President of the American Legion is Post #7 (Chapala). Several Canadian veterans, including branch member Larry Wooley, had the privilege to plant flags and flowers on graves of American veterans at the Chapala City Cemetery. Comrade Wooley also served as the Sergeant-at-Arms in the flag party for the event that was associated with the commemoration earlier today. Pictured below are two of the Canadian veterans placing these items (including Comrade Wooley in his Sgt-at-Arms hat).

Memorial Day Service 2023

Earlier today Branch 25 of the Royal Canadian Legion (representing the San Francisco Bay Area) held their annual Memorial Day Service, supported by our U.S. Naval Sea Cadet Corps (USNSCC) – Arkansas Division. The service took place at the Royal Canadian Legion plot in the Greenlawn Memorial Park on 1100 El Camino Real in Colma, CA.  The service was originally streamed at 11am on Saturday, 27 May 2023, and a recording of that stream (with some editing to address some of the technical issue) is available below.
