5 www.on.legion.ca ONTARIO COMMAND We finally made it. Vol. XI of the MSRB Book. I hope you enjoy flipping through its pages as you have with the other Volumes that came before as much as I did. At one point there was serious doubt that we would garner enough submissions before the print deadline, but you all managed to come through once again and the proof is now here for your reading pleasure. I sincerely hope that with the Royal Canadian Legions 100th Anniversary fast approaching, that it will provide extra motivation to make the next two editions something very special and have them chock full of new submissions sooner rather than later. I know there are still thousands of Veterans out there that would qualify for publication. Comrades let’s get to it and fill out those forms and get them sent in ASAP. Do I need to remind you all again that the monies derived from the advertising that appears in these publications brings in thousands of dollars which helps to subsidize the many Veteran Programs that we operate as Ontario Command of the Royal Canadian Legion. In this ever-changing world of ours it presents new challenges and struggles. Comrade Ron Goebel continues to work very hard in gathering submissions to appear in the MSRB Book. Vol. XI proved to be a real challenge as submissions for this edition once again were very hard to come by, but after constant pressure from Comrade Ron, we eventually received enough to be able to go to press. I cannot stress enough the importance of this publication, not only the fact that it is a constant reminder to us all of the many Canadians who did, and still do, step-up to help protect what we hold so dear, this valuable and great country of ours, Canada. Thank you, Comrade Ron, for your extreme dedication and the many years toiling as Chair of the MSRB Program. Thank you again to the hardworking staff at the Ontario Command Office, as I really don’t know what we would do without you. Thank you to our Ontario Correspondent, Roy Eaton, and of course to Ontario Command PRO Chair and Provincial MSRB Coordinator, Comrade Carolyn McCaul, and Comrade Rae Ann Bauman, Provincial MSRB Coordinator. Again, a huge thank you to the countless volunteers at Branch, Zone and District level. Without your contribution none of this would ever come to fruition, well done. Thank you Comrades for all of your support over this past year in assisting us with the publication of yet another most successful book. “We Will Remember Them”.
