Vets' Corner

Message from 2008 - 2009 National President

Dear Joe,

I am more than happy to support your efforts with the Vets RCMP Grave Location and Maintenance Program.

I think it is very important that we identify the resting place of fellow members of the Force in an effort to ensure that they are properly identified and maintained.

In my travels across Canada on personal and Veterans' Association business I have made visits to cemeteries containing Grave Markers and Memorials to departed Members of the Force that were not well marked or maintained. In my opinion they brought discredit to the Force and to us as former members.

We here in Newfoundland and Labrador are in the process of identitying all former member grave sites with a view to performing annual inspection to ensure that they do not bring discredit to the Force and to our Association. Therefore I agree with your program whole heartedly.

I wish you all the best in your endeavours in the future.

Yours very truly,

Larry Power National President
RCMP Veterans' Association.
