21 A Message from the Command President The Royal Canadian Legion is the foremost institution in Canada, providing and championing services to Veterans. No organization works harder and more diligently than the Legion for Veterans, either still serving, or having given their all while wearing the uniform. As President of BC Yukon Command, I salute all who have served our country either in a military or Royal Canadian Mounted Police capacity. Not to be forgotten, are the countless non-Veteran members of this great organization. It is only through the membership and the willingness of all Legion members, that we continue to strive and serve after 95 years. 2022 marks the 17th year this Military Service Recognition Book has been published as a tribute to Veterans, and it is truly a remarkable way to recognize our women and men who have served. Veterans tend to be thought about during the Remembrance period each year, but the publication of this book allows us to reflect on Veterans each and every time we see or open the book. To our publisher, thank you for your continued efforts and the contributions, both monetarily and spiritually, that you provide. To all Legion members and friends, I challenge everyone to make contributions to future publications of this book by submitting a photo and story from a Veteran in your family, or a Veteran who was a close friend. As much as many Veterans do not seek recognition, it is important that their stories be told and remembered. Last, but not least, a great round of applause for the persons, groups, companies, and organizations who advertise in this publication. Through your contributions, BC Yukon Command receives funds which allow us to continue to support programs for Veterans in our communities. To all contributors, advertisers and supporters..........BRAVO ZULU In comradeship, Craig Thomson
