  • The the 50Th Anniversary of the Canadian Armed Forces Logistics
    The The 50th Anniversary of the Canadian Armed Forces Logistics Branch “In the Shadows of the Limelight” The tales, anecdotes, salty dips and rumoured to be true stories from those who served Edition 1 January 18, 2019 Edited by LCol Mike Hendrigan, CD (Retired) Dedication n putting this collection of stories together, I often wondered if a dedication was required, and it was, how would I word it? I pondered the subject for way too long and as the weeks I turned into months, I thought about possible options and formats. In my research into what I thought would be an easy matter, I found the following information on dedications: A dedication could be addressed to a parent, a sibling or other family member, a friend a supervisor or even a mascot. Ok, this was a start. A dedication could be formal or informal, and provide a reason. There is no one way to write a dedication. Darn, back to square one. So with no right answer, no fixed format and no further ahead, I came up with a couple dedications that seemed appropriate. If you want to see what I came up with, keep reading. Otherwise, skip this part and flip a few pages forward to the first “Log Tale”. On my first attempt, I came up with this: This book is dedicated to the thousands of serving logisticians who will be celebrating the 50th Anniversary of the Canadian Armed Forces Logistics Branch on 1 February 2018. That seemed a little too vanilla and bland, so I came up with a second version: To all logisticians, past and present, who supported CAF operations, missions and exercises with honour.

  • Text on Sign at Memorial Highway of Heroes
    Text on Sign at Memorial Highway of Heroes When the first four fallen soldiers were repatriated at CFB Trenton in 2002, members of the public stood in silence paying their respects to the soldiers and their families. People saw the live coverage on television and wanted to find a way to embrace the families of the fallen. After that first repatriation ceremony in 2002, individuals and families began standing on bridges overlooking Highway 401, to share in the grief of the families and to let them know that they were not alone. Each time since, when a fallen soldier has come home for the final time the numbers have grown along the bridges from Trenton to the coroner's office in Toronto. Day or night, people, families, Canadian Forces members, veterans and emergency responders attend bridges along what is now known as the Highway of Heroes, letting the families know that they are not alone and thanking the fallen for their ultimate sacrifice. Today, a dedicated group of volunteers, made up of veterans, active service members and families of the fallen set out to clean the Highway of Heroes every spring and fall so it remains a respectful place to remember and pay tribute. No. 26 Ordnance Depot of the Royal Canadian Ordnance Corps Canadian Forces Station Cobourg was a military logistics base located in Cobourg, Ontario. The facility was created due to the expansion of Canadian military capability brought about by the Korean War and Cold War. Logistics and supply facilities for the Army were being expanded across Canada.
