<strong>Nova</strong> <strong>Scotia</strong>/Nunavut <strong>Command</strong> of The <strong>Royal</strong> <strong>Canadian</strong> <strong>Legion</strong><br />

Project Chairman’s Message<br />

As Chairman of this important project, it is truly an honour to present Volume 8 of our Veterans’<br />

Service Recognition Book series on behalf of the Executive Council and membership of <strong>Nova</strong><br />

<strong>Scotia</strong> / Nunavut <strong>Command</strong> of The <strong>Royal</strong> <strong>Canadian</strong> <strong>Legion</strong> to honour the lives and deeds of our<br />

Veterans.<br />

When we began this project nine years ago, it was with more than a little trepidation and<br />

nervousness - would our <strong>Legion</strong> membership, the general public and our local businesses across<br />

<strong>Nova</strong> <strong>Scotia</strong> accept and support the concept of this book? The answer has been a consistent YES!<br />

Since our first edition, copies of this series of books have been sent to all public and school libraries<br />

across <strong>Nova</strong> <strong>Scotia</strong> and have become a research tool for our younger generations. As <strong>Legion</strong>naires,<br />

we must keep the spirit of Remembrance alive in the hearts and minds of our youth and the general<br />

public. These books are but a small contribution to that effort.<br />

I am always amazed at the generosity of the people of <strong>Nova</strong> <strong>Scotia</strong> and would like to again thank<br />

all the <strong>Legion</strong> Branches and individuals who continue to honour our Veterans by submitting their<br />

biographies and photos (a submission form can be found in the back of this book) and would like<br />

to thank all our advertising sponsors for their support of this project.<br />

I would like to extend our sincere thanks to Fenety Marketing for their continuing support in<br />

the production of these books and together with NS/NU <strong>Command</strong>, we look forward to issuing<br />

Volume 9 in the Fall of 2013.<br />

In Comradeship,<br />

Steve Wessel<br />

Project Chairman<br />
