REMEMBRANCE DAY SERVICE NOVEMBER 11, 1986 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 but 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 be 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.m. in the Legion Hall with the parade to.the Cenotaph to follow. On behalf of all veterans we thank you for your support andicooperation. Don Armstrong PRESIDENT - BRANCH 140 Rev. G. Simmons Rev G. Youmatoff PADRES A. Gordan Tait POPPY CHAIRMAN 11. E.
