In these pages you’ll find stories of true Canadian heroes — those who have served and are still serving in our Canadian Armed Forces, the Commonwealth or Allied Forces. In the First World War, the Second World War, Korea and Afghanistan, whenever the world's most evil powers rose, Canadians were there and ready to fight. Many made the ultimate sacrifice and, for that, we will be forever grateful. Many more continue to serve today as peacekeepers wherever there is conflict in the world. I thank the hard-working team behind the Ontario Command for this worthy recognition of those who serve our country, here in Canada and around the world. As a proud member of The Royal Canadian Legion Coronation Branch 286, I know firsthand how much Legion branches do to build better communities. It is my hope that these stories will help present and future generations of Ontarians understand the price we pay for our freedoms, and truly appreciate the blessings of democracy. Best wishes to everyone. Doug Ford Premier A MESSAGE FROM PREMIER DOUGFORD
