REMEMBRANCE DAY SERVICES
NOVEMBER 1,1, 1985
Our Silent Reminder
is the Royal Canadian Legion's Poppy slogan this year. Remembrance Day is fast ap-
proaching in Clinton and all of Canada. Our veterans are getting fewer in number each
year hut our Remembrance of them must not diminish.
When you wear a poppy or purchase a wreath you help to remember the 114,000
Canadian War Dead who helped to give us the freedom that we enjoy and take for
granted today. At all times we should also remember the veterans - some who have
been in hospitals since the end of the First World War.
The Legion's 60th Anniversary slogan 'Pride in our Past - Faith in our Future' should
he remembered by all of us when we think of Remembrance Day.
Branch 140 invites everyone to join with us at our service on
November 11 starting at 9:30 a.rn. in the Legion Hall with the
parade to the Cenotaph to follow. On behalf of all veterans we
thank you for your support and cooperation.
