23 A Note to the Reader Dear Reader, This book is the seventeenth in a series of Military Service Recognition Books that we have been publishing since 2005. Thank you to the Legion Branches, members and individuals who collected, composed, and submitted stories that contributed to the great success of these publications. The professional expertise of Fenety Marketing has raised funds through the selling of advertising in these books and through a public telephone solicitation. The proceeds raised are being used to improve our services to Veterans and Legion programs in more than 146 communities that we serve throughout BC and the Yukon. This unique publication is dedicated to the thousands of Veterans and ex-service personnel who have served their country so well during times of war and peace. This book will help future generations better understand the sacrifices made during these times of great conflict, and to better understand the purpose and objectives of The Royal Canadian Legion. You can use the submission form at the back of this book to send us additional stories. We encourage everyone to submit stories about their family members and friends with military backgrounds. When a story is received it will be deemed submitted for inclusion and may be edited and used without any further permission required. The maximum length of these submissions should be no longer than 200 words, and a separate sheet of paper can be attached to this form, as well as a photo. We retain the right to edit, but will not make any changes to content; if you misspell your name or give the wrong information, we may not make the necessary changes. All submissions should be sent to the BC/Yukon Command office by Canada Post or email. Email to info@legionbcyukon.ca is the preferred method. Please send stories and photos together in the same email. If photographs are emailed, please ensure they have a resolution of 300dpi or higher. If you are mailing in your submission, please send to: Military Service Recognition Book 101 – 17618 58th Avenue Surrey, BC V3S 1L3 Photographs will not be returned, so if you mail one, mail a copy. We hope this information and form are of assistance in preparation of your histories and stories and we look forward to receiving your submissions. If you have any questions about the book or your submission, contact the Command Office at 604.575.8840 or 1.888.261.2211 Recognition of our Veterans is very important to all of us, so let’s get behind this project and make it another successful and memorable publication!
