Re: Veterans Day

Veterans Day in Newfoundland saw numerous events for veterans here including members of the American Legion Post on the island. Every year the students at Levalle High in Placentia put on a remembrance service honoring those from the area who have served. Those remembered included U.S veterans who settled in the area. This year myself, Terry Clower, and George Walter were among the ex Argentia sailors attending plus Johnny Seay also showed up. The Legion was also represented on Monday in both St. John's and Mt. Pearl. Also on Monday the town of Gander dedicated the stretch of the TCH from the Silent Witness Memorial (site of the lose of 248 members of the 101st Airborne division in 1985) in their memory. Most of us do not get home often but we maintain a tradition started here by the bases that were established around the rock in the 40s. Frog
