5 www.on.legion.ca ONTARIO COMMAND Here we are at Volume #10 of the Military Service Recognition Book, to say the least this edition has proved to be a real struggle compared to the previous editions in trying to gather enough submissions so that it could finally go to print, and that really only happened because of the constant reminders that our MSRB Chair, Comrade Ron, sent out almost weekly in the closing stages to all of our Branches in Ontario. Comrades, do I need to remind you that not only do these publications provide an extensive record of our Canadian Military History over the years but they also bring in, through the advertising that appears in each volume, thousands of dollars that we can use to help subsidize the many veteran programs that we support. Unlike some of the other projects we take on this particular project is not really tied down to extensive deadlines all the time, this is something that someone can work on at their leisure and submit whenever they are ready, 1, 2, 3 or 10 submissions at a time, it doesn’t really matter. The only figure that really counts is prior to printing each edition and that is the final tally, 400 plus is the preferred number at the very least. Now I personally know that most branches have lots and lots of photos on their walls, many with a story to tell, are they in the Military Service Recognition Book? Maybe they could be, think about it, please. Again a big thank you goes out to our hardworking MSRB crew, comrade Ron Goebel, Chair of the MSRB Program, the staff at our Ontario Command Office, Ontario Correspondent, Mary Ann Goheen and last but not least, Ontario Command PRO Chair, Comrade Carolyn McCaul. Not forgetting the countless volunteers at the Branch, Zone and District levels, without your continued support and dedication, none of this would have been possible, a big thank you to you all. We will Remember Them. Derek Moore Provincial President The Royal Canadian Legion Ontario Command A MESSAGE FROM THE PRESIDENT
