Seaforth veterans
Marco Vigliotti
Huron Expositor
Huron -Bruce MP Ben Lobb
will present several local mili-
tary veterans later this month
with limited -edition commemo-
rative pins and certificates of
recognition to honour their ser-
vice with Canada's armed forces
during World War Two.
Lobb, a member of the gov-
erning federal Conservative
caucus, will make the presenta-
tions at a gala at Seaforth's
Legion Hall on April 25. The
event, which will also include a
light lunch, will run from noon
to 2 p.m and is open to any
members of the public inter-
ested in paying their respects to
those who served in one of Can-
ada's most famed military
entanglements.
"Each November the commu-
nity gathers at our Cenotaph to
remember the veterans who
gave their lives in defence of our
country. We would hope that
some of our community could
join us on April 25 to say our
thanks to those remaining who
fought just as hard for our coun-
try and its ideals and who came
home," Lin Steffler, a veterans
service officer with the Seaforth
Legion, said in an email mes-
sage to the Expositor. "Their
battles were no less harrowing
or dangerous and their actions
were no less brave."
She also asked those inter-
ested in attending to contact her
by April 20 either by phone at
519-527-2389 or by email at
linstefiler@gmail.com.
