PRINCE EDWARD ISLAND COMMAND Veterans’ Service Recognition Book ‐ Volume 16 Dedicated to all Prince Edward Islanders who served their country in times of war and peace.
Commemorating the 100th Anniversary of the PEI Legion
ROYAL CANADIAN LEGION - MILITARY SERVICE RECOGNITION
Islanders have a long and proud tradition of answering the call of duty in times of conflict and in times of peace – protecting and helping those in need here at home and around the world.
We are privileged to live with the freedoms that we have been afforded. Freedoms that brave individuals have chosen to serve for and uphold … freedoms that we can innocently take for granted. It is important that we honour them and those who carry on their legacy.
On behalf of the Government of Prince Edward Island, I offer warm wishes and congratulations to the Royal Canadian Legion on the annual publication of the Military Service Recognition booklet.

Message from the President
June 6th, 2019 marks the 75th anniversary of the D-Day battles which freed Europe from the Nazi tyranny. A tour of the many European Commonwealth war cemeteries will show you that this was at a tremendous cost to our nation and to our precious Island homes. Some of the epitaphs written on the tombstones of fallen PEI comrades tell the sad story: “Lonely, dreary are the days since one we love went away. Lovingly remembered by his grandmother.” “The blow was hard, the shock severe to part with one I loved so dear. Mother” “We think of him in silence his name we oft recall, all that’s left to answer is his picture on the wall.” “Free men everywhere should remember them on your name.” We can be very proud of the role our Canadian soldiers played in both world wars and subsequent peacekeeping and military actions that have taken place around our world. These epitaphs ring true even today for loved ones whose sons or daughters have suffered or died for our country. This is why the Legion exists, so that Canada will never forget and why we advocate for the care and benefits for all who served Canada, regardless of when or where they served. This booklet provides another vital way to remember those who have served. On behalf of the Prince Edward Island Command executive council of The Royal Canadian Legion, I wish to express our gratitude and appreciation for the countless volunteer hours logged by our members, staff and the Ladies Auxiliary of The Legion. It is through the strong effort of this booklet and our organization that we will continue our strong community support to develop and fund programs for our Veterans, seniors and youth. “We will remember them.” - « Nous nous souviendrons d’eux. »
