Lest we forget --- we remember. Today hundreds gathered in Kentville to watch veterans march in the company of younger soldiers.  Scores of wreaths were laid. I was honoured to lay one on behalf of the Municipality of the County of Kings.

Noted this year by Mayor Corkum during his remarks was the number of young parents and children in attendance and upon whom we will depend to remember when the veterans of today are gone. 

In support of all veterans I would urge each of us to write our Prime Minister to urge him to abandon the plan of his government to close Veterans Affairs offices across Canada. These offices include the Sydney Veterans Affairs Office, Cape Breton Regional Municipality.
