Canada's Last Great War Veteran

[Oatmeal Savage]

I am posting this to reach all Canadians, I am sorry if it isn't kosher to post this.

http://www.dominion.ca/petition/

"We the undersigned feel enormous gratitude for the sacrifice made by all the Canadian Armed Forces through the ages in defence of this country and its values; acknowledge the very special nature of the sacrifice made by those who fought in the First World War in appalling conditions and with terrible loss of life; note that only three First World War veterans remain, and urge the Prime Minister that their sacrifice, and all of those they served with under arms from 1914-1918, be celebrated by offering a state funeral to the family of the last veteran of the First World War resident in Canada."

The Dominion Institute will send the petition on behalf of its signatories
to the Prime Minister of Canada on December 11, 2006.

Thanks

Very good, OS. Signed and word spread.

Lest we forget.

May Americans sign that? I would be most happy to support such a noble cause on behalf of our neighbours & friends to the North.

Regards,

Todd

[Big Dave]

I don't think so, unfortunately. The page asks for your town and province, probably to prove that you're a Canadian citizen. I, and I'm sure most Canadians, do appreciate your thoughts, though.

Not being Canadian I won't sign it but I support the sentiments entirely.

I believe there is a similar idea here in the UK also.

[David Dalglish]

I think that it should be correct to do this--well done Canada

[Macman]

I signed it too. Thanks for bringing it to our attention, OS.

[Mr. Kilt]

Done!

[Jerry]

I too support this, and would gladly sign it if we neighbors to the south were allowed.
