5 www.on.legion.ca ONTARIO COMMAND Welcome everyone to the 12th. Edition of the Military Service Recognition Book. When Comrade Ron Goebel created this initiative “so many years ago” it is immensely satisfying to see that it is still around and remains strong “so many years later”. A true testament to the hard work and dedication shown by Comrade Ron over all of those years in producing such a fine and popular publication that focuses on featuring all of our veterans, men and women, who have served, and paid the supreme sacrifice in some cases, in the Armed Forces of this great country of ours we call Canada. After all of those years, and not trying to date Comrade Ron, he has decided to hand over the reins to another, and that lucky person would be Comrade Rae Ann Bauman. As a long time member of District C I have known Comrade Rae Ann for many years now and I know she will work very hard to make sure the MSRB Book will stay the high quality publication that we have all come to know and appreciate. The best of luck to you comrade Rae Ann you will do a great job and congratulations. Thank you to all of those branches in Ontario Command that have MSRB Committees and continue to work tirelessly gathering up the many MSRB submissions it takes to fill one of these books. In saying that, we can still do better. Those branches that have never considered getting involved please think again. The money raised from the printing of these books goes towards the many Veteran Transition Programs and Legion Programs that we have, every dollar earned really counts and makes a difference. To date over the last 12 years this publication has raised over $2,208,988.52, quite a staggering amount. This was only achievable through the many submissions that you had sent in, please keep up the good work and don’t stop now. “We will Remember Them” Derek Moore Provincial President Royal Canadian Legion Ontario Command A MESSAGE FROM THE PRESIDENT
