Great to be back here in FD.
Since we were last together a few things have changed with myself and my wife. We've gotten a little more involved with the Royal Canadian Legion,(RCL) as a Motorcycle group called Legion Riders. Used to promote the RCL and to help out with the community. If any of you are in or going through Gananoque, Ontario, on the south side of the bridge, on Hwy 2, is a little park dedicated to our veterans called the Legion Rider Veteran Park. I help the caretaker Douglas Wood in maintaining that park.
I'm also involved with a group called HOCS/SOS. (Honour Our Canadian Soldiers/Soldiers of Suicide). We stay in contact with approx. 2 dozen families, across Canada, that have decided to go public in educating them on the problems of PTSD and our military. I'm in contact with 3 families myself from New Brunswick and slowly getting to know a couple of the families here in Ontario. Our group meets once a year, in Beechwood Cemetery in Ottawa, for an annual remembrance ceremony in support of those families. Usually the last Saturday in September.
As we get more settled back into Ontario, we hope to be a greater influence with regards to the above mentioned groups.
Will have more to follow at a later date. Cheers for now.
