Recognizing our Veterans
As the “Keepers of Remembrance”, Ontario Provincial Command is proud to publish an annual Military Service Recognition Book to identify and recognize many of our Veterans who have or are living in the Province of Ontario. Veterans who have either served or are still serving in our Canadian Armed Forces, the Commonwealth or Allied Forces qualify for a submission publication.
We invite you to visit your local Legion Branch to obtain more information regarding this Remembrance program and more importantly, to submit a story and photo of a Veteran. Everyone is welcome to submit a story, including Veterans, relatives or friends.
Drop off or send your submission and story to your local Legion Branch. We accept submissions year-round and are published on a first come, first served basis. Please do not drop submissions off or mail them to our Provincial Command Headquarters.
This project not only produces an annual Book of Remembrance, but also raises funds through a telephone appeal to the general public and through advertising sales for our books.
The book publisher, Fenety Marketing, conducts a telephone appeal on our behalf to private citizens and the business community throughout Ontario.
Funds raised through the program are utilized to support various Veteran Transition Programs that in turn will assist our Veterans who suffer from various challenges they face in transitioning from a military life to a civilian life.
We invite you to share your story or the story of a loved one through your local Legion Branch.
Please visit your local Legion Branch or visit our website (www.on.legion.ca) for a submission form and pertinent information about our program.
