The Legion strongly condemns those who jumped on the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier and disrespected the National War Memorial on Saturday. The site commemorates those who fought and fell for the very freedoms that allow the right to protest peacefully and respectfully.

The National War Memorial is a site of collective remembrance & must be treated with respect. The removal of protective barricades & the reported inaction by those charged with safeguarding this memorial is deeply disturbing. Those who sacrificed for our freedoms deserve better.

They shall grow not old, as we that are left grow old; Age shall not weary them, nor the years condemn. At the going down of the sun and in the morning We will remember them. #RemembranceDay #CanadaRemembers

Tens of thousands of participants gathered at the National Remembrance Day Ceremony this year. The Legion hosted the solemn yet striking event at the National War Memorial in Ottawa; in honour of all those who have given their lives in service to Canada.

It's June 6, 1944. He is 19. As his landing craft approaches Juno Beach, it strikes a mine that rips through the vessel. Still, he reaches the beach carrying only a fork, knife, and spoon. Norm Kirby made it through the Nazi bullets. Norm died this week. Please remember him.

The Legion has been advocating for the creation of national standards for #servicedogs for Veterans. A participant report by @universitelaval & CIRRIS shows positive outcomes service dogs have on quality of life. We look forward to reviewing the complete report once available.
