War Service Recognition Book 6 - Rep Rien

Proud to support the Royal Canadian Legion
British ColumBia / Yukon Command

Office of the Lieutenant Governor
The Royal Canadian Legion

Military Service Recognition Book 2011
I am honoured to contribute to the Military Service Recognition Book. As the Honorary Patron to the
Royal Canadian Legion’s BC and Yukon Command and as an Honorary Captain in the Royal Canadian
Navy, I have the opportunity to meet Legion members and veterans throughout the province. I am
humbled by their stories and so thankful to them for their service to Canadians.
The stories of Canadians who represented our country around the world during times of unrest illustrate
the great courage and bravery of the men and women of the Canadian Forces. I have had the honour of
visiting the Canadian memorials at Menin Gate, Passchendaele, the Somme, Vimy Ridge and Dieppe.
This experience touched me deeply and helped me to better understand the contributions of Canadians.
As citizens of our democratic and peaceful nation, we owe our veterans a debt that cannot be repaid. They
have given of themselves for Canada and we should be eternally grateful.
Members of the Canadian Forces are still making sacrifices for what we all believe in, our values and our
way of life. I encourage parents and grandparents to educate their children and grandchildren on Canada’s
role as peacekeepers and, when necessary, defenders of freedom around the world. The men and women
of our Army, Navy and Air Force put themselves on the front line so that we can live in peace and
harmony in this great country. We must never forget those who have served and who continue to serve
this country with their duty and sacrifice.
Sincerely,
The Honourable Steven L. Point, OBC

Lieutenant Governor of British Columbia

SPECIAL THANKS to COVER PHOTO

A Message from the President
BC/Yukon Command of The Royal Canadian Legion

is honoured once again to present the annual
Military Service Recognition Book.
As we reflect back over the past 85 years The Royal Canadian Legion has been in existence, we celebrate the many thousands of
volunteers whose time and commitment have helped make this organization prosper. This volunteer spirit has also helped build this
great country into what it is today.
I would like to extend my thanks and gratitude to those who have made this publication a reality, either by your contribution of
stories or through your generous financial support. Without your help this success would not have been possible.
This sixth book of veterans’ stories will again help us fulfill our mandate of remembrance by publishing the stories of our ex-service
personnel, helping all of us to become even more aware of the great sacrifices that have been made over the years.
This year, as we welcome back our Afghanistan Veterans, we must pause and reflect on the turmoil they have experienced, and we
must ensure their return to civilian life is as smooth as possible. BC/Yukon Command of The Royal Canadian Legion has
endeavored to help make this happen by setting up programs in conjunction with leading universities such as the Post Traumatic
Stress Disorder clinics offered by The Legion and UBC, and The Military Skills Conversion Programs partnered with BCIT
designed to help ease ex-service personnel back into civilian life.
As we continue our journey of remembrance and our struggle for peace, we must never forget those whose sacrifices have made
such a difference to all of our lives.
“Lest We Forget.”
Yours in Comradeship,

A Message from the Premier
As Premier of the Province of British Columbia, I am very pleased to express my sincere gratitude and
appreciation to our Veterans and all members of the Canadian Forces who have shown, and continue to show,
such great support and commitment to their goals and objectives on behalf of all of us and our country. It takes
a very special kind of person to serve in the military and the accomplishments and the sacrifices that have been
made shall never be forgotten.
I know everyone involved in military service and their families have some pretty incredible and amazing
stories and photographs to share. It is great to see some of them compiled here in this publication for all to
reflect on and appreciate.
I commend the BC/Yukon Territory Command of The Royal Canadian Legion for their ongoing service and
support to the people, families and communities of British Columbia.
Sincerely,

A Message from the Book Coordinator
Comrades,
This book is the sixth Military Service Recognition Book we have published to date. There are a large number of individuals
involved, and each has contributed in their own way to the success of this publication. This publication would not have been
possible without the participation of the Branches and membership in researching and contributing the stories contained in
this book.
I would also like to thank Command staff and executive for their help in collecting the required information and their guidance
in the decision-making and direction this project has taken.
The professional expertise of Fenety Marketing has again raised funds through the selling of advertising in this book and
through a public telephone solicitation that has made this publication possible. This fundraising has contributed much-needed
financial assistance to this Command and the many programs it sponsors and supports.
I would also like to thank the Legion Branches and their members for their tireless work on behalf of our Command’s veterans,
ex-service personnel and their families.
This unique publication is dedicated to those who have served their country so well during times of war and peace. This book
will help future generations better understand the sacrifices made during these times of great conflict, and to better understand
the purpose and objects of The Royal Canadian Legion.
A special thank you to all who took the time to compose and submit stories. There are too many to list, but you will recognize
your contribution as your stories are told in this book.
With this project continuing for a couple of more years, all stories submitted will be considered for publication and we hope
more stories will continue to come in over the year.
We have tried to include as much of the information we received as possible and we regret we have had to leave some

BC/Yukon Command of The Royal Canadian Legion is on the forefront of creating

new and exciting programs which address the unique needs of military families.
This comes at a time when Canada’s military returns from overseas duties and on
the horizon of welcoming a new generation of Veterans.
LegionMilitarySkillsConversionProgram ~OnlyinBC!
Who would think that the skills and experiences acquired through military service
are often not recognized in the corporate marketplace? It’s true and complicates
job seeking when our men and women in uniform are making the transition from
military to civilian life.
The Legion Military Skills Conversion Program is designed to help.
The new Legion Military Skills Conversion Program with the British Columbia
Institute of Technology (BCIT) enables service personnel to plan a civilian career
path using a three-pronged approach: academic, entrepreneurial and
employment. Participants receive academic accreditation for military service with
fast tracked post-secondary education. Courses range from one month to four
years depending upon the path chosen. For those wanting to start a business, the
program supports the development of a professional business plan. And for those
wanting to enter the workforce immediately, the program offers workshops for
professional resume development and assistance with job searches. Our
Veterans’ military training and experience has value in the corporate marketplace
and through this program, we will make this happen.

Legionnaires and Ladies Auxiliaries throughout BC/Yukon Command of The Royal

Canadian Legion (RCL) work tirelessly with like-minded community agencies to
create programs that address the unique needs of military families. A fine example
of this is the development of Cockrell House by the South Mid Vancouver Island
Zone Veterans Housing Society.
The Society was concerned about the impact of our challenging economy and the
growing number of homeless Veterans. For some Veterans, homelessness can
become a way of life with lost hope, lost opportunity and a sense of a loss of
community.
Out of this sense of concern and commitment to care for Veterans, the Society
built Cockrell House for disadvantaged Veterans. Named after Lionel Jack
Cockrell, a Second World War tank commander, former RCL Zone Commander
and long-time Legion Service Officer and mentor to many, Cockrell House
provides new beginnings for homeless Veterans.

CockrellHouseforHomelessVeterans~OnlyinBC!
Cockrell House is an eleven unit multiplex in Colwood on Vancouver Island,

providing the basic necessities of life for homeless Veterans wanting to regain
their place in society. Supported entirely by Society and Legion volunteer staff,
Cockrell House offers a full range of health, social and educational services.
Veterans are offered a two-year transitional residence. During this time they
receive: counselling, life skill courses; social assistance; transportation; and
support in preparing the necessary documentation to transition back into a healthy
lifestyle. New beginnings become possible at Cockrell House.

YOUTHFULARTISTICEXPRESSION
As the “Guardian of Remembrance”, The Royal Canadian Legion has the sacred
responsibility to preserve the legacy of Fallen Canadians, past and present, who
served in the cause of peace. It is gratifying that this honoured legacy lives on from
generation to generation, through the hearts and voices of young Canadians. This
is evident by way of their artful expression in the Legion’s annual traditional
Poster, Essay and Poem Contests which is of constant amazement.
Two years ago, BC/Yukon Command introduced a new Remembrance Contest to

further expand this artistic expression through the modern medium of videos. And
once again, young people have shown how deep their sentiments are about
honouring duty, service and sacrifice.

Remembrance
TwoMinuteSilence
Remembrance summons each generation anew
to understand the finest of Canadian values ~ freedom, democracy,
human dignity and the caring for the greater good of mankind.
When the guns fell silent on the First World War battlefields, and the Armistice was
signed at the 11th hour on the 11th day of the 11th month in 1918, this sacred
moment in history was embraced as Armistice Day.
As Britain and its Commonwealth Dominions began planning Armistice Day

services for the following year, an Australian journalist proposed in a letter that a
respectful silence to Remember the Fallen be included in the ceremonies. This
letter, scribed by Edward George Honey, was published on May 8, 1919 in the
London Evening News and was brought to the attention of His Majesty King
George V.
On November 8, 1919, His Majesty King George V proclaimed:
“...all locomotion should cease, so that, in perfect stillness, the thoughts of

everyone may be concentrated on reverent remembrance of the glorious
dead...”
This silent observance was incorporated into the first Armistice Day service held
on November 11th, 1919 in Britain and the Commonwealth Dominions.
Following the Second World War, Armistice Day was renamed as Remembrance
Day to honour the Fallen from all wars, past, present and future.
Over time, the silent observance was not consistently observed by all countries.
In the year 2000, The Royal Canadian Legion and other Commonwealth nations
rallied together to revitalize the significance of the silence observance and called
for an international “Two Minute Wave of Silence”.
Some historians believe that the tradition of the silence was in honour of the last
soldier killed before the Armistice, Pte. George Price, a Canadian. Pte. Price was
killed in action by the last shot of the Great War, two minutes before the guns fell
silent.
In Mons, France at the ornate Grand Place, a commemorative plaque honours the
memory of Pte. George Price. He is buried at Saint Symphorien Cemetery in
Mons.

PLEASE WEAR A POPPY
"Please wear a poppy," the lady said and held one forth, but I shook my head. Then I stopped and watched as
she offered them there. And her face was old and lined with care; but beneath the scars the years had made
there remained a smile that refused to fade. A boy came whistling down the street, bouncing along on care-free
feet, his smile was full of joy and fun, "Lady," said he, "may I have one? "When she'd pinned it on he turned to
say,” Why do we wear a poppy today?" The lady smiled in her wistful way and answered, "This is Remembrance
Day, and the poppy there is the symbol for the gallant men who died in war and because they did, you and I are
free -That's why we wear a poppy you see. I had a boy about your size with golden hair and big blue eyes he
loved to play and jump and shout, free as a bird he would race about. As the years went by he learned and grew
and became a man - as you will, too. "He was fine and strong, with a boyish smile. But he'd seemed with us such
a little while. When war broke out and he went away I still remember his face that day. When he smiled at me and
said, Goodbye, I'll be back soon, Mom, so please don't cry. But the war went on and he had to stay. And all I
could do was wait and pray. His letters told of the awful fight, (I can see it still in my dreams at night) With the
tanks and guns and cruel barbed wire, and the mines and bullets, the bombs and fire. Till at last, at last, the war
was won. And that's why we wear a poppy son." The small boy turned as if to go, then said, "Thanks, lady, I'm
glad to know, that sure did sound like an awful fight, but your son - did he come back all right? A tear rolled down
each faded cheek; she shook her head, but didn't speak. I slunk away in a sort of shame, and if you were me
you'd have done the same; for our thanks, in giving, if oft delayed; Though our freedom was bought - and
thousands paid! And so when we see a poppy worn,
Let us reflect on the burden borne,
By those who gave their very all
When asked to answer their country's call
That we at home in peace might live.
Then wear a poppy! Remember - and give! by Don Crawford

Chaplin, Harry
Harry was born in Kelowna, BC in 1915. He joined the Army in 1942 and
served as a Lieutenant in the 23rd Manitoba Dragoons. He was Mentioned
in Dispatches during the European Campaign in which he commanded an
armoured car company for three and a half years. Harry also served in the
Pacific Theatre and returned home in 1945 with the rank of Major. He then
took over running the farm, but a fire in 1952 destroyed the orchard and he
moved his young family into town to work for S.M Simpson’s Limited, first
as a timber cruiser and finally as Timber Records Supervisor for the
company, then owned by Crown Zellerbach. Harry was a founding Director
of The Interior Alzheimer Foundation started in 1981. Harry died on
December 14, 2010. A Last Post service was held at Brookhaven Care
Centre by Legion Branch #2888, Westbank, BC.
Chaput, Wallace (Wally)

Wally was born on April 7, 1925 in Cloverdale, Connecticut, USA. His
family came to Canada when he was eighteen months old. He tried to enlist
in the Army in Vernon when he was 16 but was turned down because of his
age. He waited a month and then was successful in enlisting by pretending
to be 19 by using his sister’s birth date. He was accepted into the Royal
Canadian Horse Artillery and took basic training in Chilliwack, BC. Wally
did artillery training in Shilo, Manitoba before going with the 1st Field
Regiment, first to Sicily and Italy and then to Northwest Europe for the
remainder of the war. He volunteered for service in the Pacific but when the
war ended there, he was discharged. Wally was awarded the Defence Medal
and the Canadian Volunteer Service Medal. Wally has been a member of
Legion Branch #167 in Lumby, BC for fifty-six years and is a Life Member.
Chastkavich, Emil
Emil had a “very fortunate experience”, which in retrospect saved his life. He
volunteered for the Army because his older brother was “called up” but was
rejected because of his flat feet, so he joined the Navy instead. The
embarkation ship he would have been on if he was still in the Army was
torpedoed and sunk, killing all onboard. Meanwhile in the Navy, in the
middle of the North Atlantic, his Captain called him down for having been in
the Army, so he discharged Emil who then had to pay for his Army uniform.
He returned home to his mother who fainted as she thought he had perished
on the sunken embarkation ship. Emil’s Navy job had been “setting depth
charges” on the back of a ship set to locate and eliminate enemy submarines.
He was also on “Escort Duty” ensuring that vital supplies reached England
intact. Emil was awarded the Canadian Volunteer Service Medal, the 1939-
1945 War Medal and Medals for service in both the Atlantic and Pacific.

Chenier, Clarence Gerald

Clarence Gerald was in Britain when World War Two was declared. He
signed up with the Royal Air Force and served during the war. On a two-day
pass, he went to London to see the sights. When he was in Piccadilly Circus,
he was astonished to meet his father who was serving in the Army – talk
about a small world! Neither had planned the reunion, and what a reunion it
was. Clarence came back to British Columbia after the war and then enlisted
in the Royal Canadian Air Force where he served until the early 1960s.

Collver, H. Ross
Ross was born in Simcoe, Ontario on August 20, 1896. He enlisted with his
twin brother, Roy, in the 133rd Battalion of the Canadian Expeditionary
Force (CEF) in Simcoe, Ontario on December 23, 1915. He was sent to
England in November 1916, where his battalion was absorbed into the 23rd
Reserve Battalion, CEF. Ross eventually served with the 14th Battalion
(Royal Montreal Regiment). He was captured after volunteering for daylight
observation duty in an observation post far in advance of the allied front line
on April 21, 1917. After returning to Canada, Ross spent several years with
the Air Cadets of Canada as Flying Officer of the 66 Fort William Squadron.
He presented his son, Joseph, with his wings after he graduated from flight
training at Service Flying Training School Brandon. Unfortunately, Joseph
was killed on July 29, 1944, returning from a bombing mission over
Hamburg, Germany. Ross died in November 1952.
Collver, Joseph Beemer (Joe)

Joe was born in Fort William, Ontario on November 12, 1925. He enlisted in
the Royal Canadian Air Force at 18, and after completing pilot training, his
father, FO H. R. Collver of the 66 Fort William Squadron, Air Cadets of
Canada, presented him with his wings. Joe was posted to the 431 (Iroquois)
Squadron in England as the Pilot/Commander of a Halifax bomber. Because he
was only 5 feet 6 inches tall, Joe needed extra seat cushions to be able to see
properly over the instrument panel and would have had to also place his feet
against the panel of a Handley Page Halifax in order to obtain enough leverage
to perform evasive manoeuvres such as dives and corkscrews. Joe met his
sister, Lieutenant Elizabeth Collver, a nurse at a Canadian army hospital in
England, several times before he was lost on July 29, 1944, returning from a
mission over Hamburg, Germany. That night, his squadron lost eight Halifax
bombers. Joe was one of the youngest pilots lost by the RCAF in WWII.
Collver, Roy Ward

Roy was born in Simcoe, Ontario on August 20, 1896. He enlisted with his
twin brother, Ross, in the 133rd Battalion of the Canadian Expeditionary
Force in Simcoe on December 23, 1915. He and his brother went to England
in November 1916 and Roy served on the Western front in France, Belgium,
and Germany. Roy returned to Canada after the Armistice was signed in
1918.

Just look at the
picture again.
It’s OK to keep staring at the picture. In fact, we kind of designed the All-New 2012 Passat so you wouldn’t have to read ads like this. The sleek
sophistication should speak for itself, saying things like, “Not only does it look great, but the spacious, comfortable interior boasts class-leading
rear seat legroom* and is full of standard features, like Bluetooth® connectivity and a leather-wrapped steering wheel.” So, go ahead and
have another look at the picture, or drop by our dealership to see the Passat in person. And while you do, consider the price. Then you’ll see
why we say that the 2012 Passat pretty much sells itself.

“Military Service Recognition Book”
Andrew Solonas Sr. was born September 28th, 1923 and died January 3rd, 2009. He was an Elder
Veteran living in McLeod Lake, British Columbia. He and his late wife, Sophie Prince, are the parents
of ten wonderful children: Myrtle (late), Lori (late), Geraldine, Andrew Jr., Rosalind, Sharon, Verne,
Richard, Terrance, and Arlene.
When he was 18 years old, he was walking around in Prince George. He met this one kid and he
asked him why he didn’t join the army. The kid said he was only 16 so Andrew decided to join. He
went to Vancouver where he spent a bit of time walking around Stanley Park. Then he joined up in
July 1941. Andrew was a member of the New Westminster Regiment from New Westminster,
British Columbia (just outside of Vancouver). He trained in practically everything and when he
decided that he wanted to go overseas he was shipped to Camp Borden in Ontario, Canada, for
some training. After that, he went to England and did some more training. Then he went to Italy to
fight in the war as a sniper. Andrew Solonas Sr. was in the army for four and a half years until October 1945.
We also have another band member who was in training in Camp Borden. He was the late Achille Chingee. He was born
on December 18, 1918. According to Andrew Sr., they found out that Achille had one poor ear. I guess Louis (a fellow
soldier) was beside him on New Year’s Eve and they made a few shots about 10 or 20 feet away causing his ear drum to
be damaged. So he had to be discharged because he could not hear out of one ear. I think it is important that we honour
the late 20,000 different troops altogether. Andrew has met a few guys from Fort St. James. As well, he met a guy named
Al Hubble overseas. Al was from Prince George. I guess he was related to Harry Copperwait, who used to own the store
across the McLeod Lake.
The McLeod Lake Indian Band members and staff would like to recognize Andrew Solonas Sr. and the late Achille Chingee
for the sacrifices they made for Our Freedom.

Rosewall, Norman William George

Norman was born in Nanaimo, BC in 1921. He was a sailor aboard Q080, one
of the Fairmile Motor Launches during the Battle for the Gulf of St. Lawrence
from 1942 on. Based in the Gaspé, the launches travelled through the Gulf to
Bay Bulls, NL and to Rimouski, QC. On one trip, the small boats encountered
such fierce storms and high waves that the crew lost sight of the mast tops of the
lead ship and it took eighteen hours to reach Pictou, NS. They tied up alongside
a lend lease destroyer from the U.S. and the destroyer’s Captain sent Norman’s
crew double hot rums. Norman’s crew went ashore to eat for the first time in a
day and a half and were so bedraggled people thought they were shipwreck
survivors. The Q080 later went to Boston, New York, Norfolk, Savannah,
Miami, where it was based at the Miami Yacht Club, and Havana, Cuba where
it anchored off the Isle of Pines, a prison island. Norman was a member of
Legion Branch #257 in Lantzville, BC for fifty-one years. He died in 2007.

off North Africa and sailed to Murmansk in northern Russia in winter where the crew
had to chip off the ice formed by waves washing over the ship’s decks and themselves
to prevent the ship sinking. When the war ended in Europe, Lyle volunteered for
service against Japan but the war in the Pacific ended while he was enroute. He was
discharged in Esquimalt on January 8, 1946. He was awarded the 1939-1945 Star, the

as a bravery decoration. His citation reads “For conspicuous gallantry and devotion to duty.
During three and a half years active service at the Front, this NCO (Harry was a Sergeant) has
on many occasions displayed great gallantry and unremitting devotion to duty. His
determination as a leader has been conspicuous in trying circumstances and under heavy fire.
He has rendered most valuable service in evacuating wounded men from the forward area
without casualties under hazardous conditions and this successful result has been due to his
judgment and ability. His example of hard work both in and out of the trenches has been
worthy of the highest praise.” Harry’s Distinguished Conduct Medal, British War Medal, and

Wilson, Norman P.
Norman was born in Vancouver on March 8, 1921. He enlisted in the Royal Canadian
Navy in September 1939 and took basic training in Esquimalt. His first posting was
on a converted yacht, HMCS Cougar, patrolling the inlets of what was then the Queen
Charlotte Islands, and is now Haida Gwaii. Norman was then drafted to Royal Roads
where he was on switchboard duty and took the message that Japan had attacked
Pearl Harbour. He went to Halifax to serve aboard the destroyer HMCS Ottawa which
was torpedoed by a German submarine while on convoy escort duty on September
13, 1942, 930 kilometers east of St. John’s, NL. The Ottawa sank after being broken
in half by a second torpedo and Norm was one of only 65 survivors; 114 crew
members were lost. Norman later served on HMCS Brandon on North Atlantic
convoy duty and was in port in Boston on VE Day. He returned to Vancouver in
August 1945 and mustered out one month later. Norman and his wife Lou live in
Bowser on Vancouver Island where he is a member of Legion Branch #211.
Wilson, Roy
Roy was born in Coronation, Alberta on December 23, 1924. He enlisted in
the Royal Hamilton Light Infantry and served during World War Two in
Northwest Europe. He was discharged in 1946 but re-enlisted in the Service
Corps during the Korean War. He was awarded the 1939-1945 Star, the
France and Germany Star, the Canadian Volunteer Service Medal, and the
War Medal 1939-1945. Roy has been a Legion member for forty-nine years
and is a Life Member of Legion Branch #167 in Lumby, BC.
Woytula, Michael Martin (Mike)

Mike was born in Hillcrest, Alberta on December 9, 1917. He joined the Canadian
Army in Calgary, AB on February 4, 1942 as a gunner in the 15th Field Regiment.
He took basic training in Sussex, NB and was then shipped to England. After two
years of training in England, he was a skilled dispatch rider with the RHQ\2IC unit
of the 15th Regiment. He assisted in scouting for new artillery positions in Northwest
Europe, action which exposed him to enemy sniper, mortar, and artillery fire. For
these duties, he was awarded a Commander in Chief Certificate. Mike was wounded
on his last reconnaissance duties at Küsten Canal on April 17, 1945 and hospitalized
until the end of the war. He was discharged in Canada on November 3, 1945 and
awarded the 1939-1945 Star, the France and Germany Star, the Defence Medal, the
War Medal 1939-1945, and the Canadian Volunteer Service Medal. In 1955, he
moved from Blairmore, AB to Prince George, BC where he joined Legion Branch
#13. Mike died on December 10, 1961.

Dear Reader,
This book is the sixth in a series of Military Service Recognition Books we have been publishing since 2005. Thank you to
the Legion Branches, members, and individuals who collected, composed, and submitted stories that contributed to the great
success of these publications.
The professional expertise of Fenety Marketing has raised funds through the selling of advertising in these books and through
a public telephone solicitation. The proceeds raised are being used to improve our services to Veterans and Legion programs
in more than 150 communities we serve throughout BC and the Yukon.
This unique publication is dedicated to the thousands of Veterans and ex-service personnel who have served their country so
well during times of war and peace. This book will help future generations better understand the sacrifices made during these
times of great conflict, and to better understand the purpose and objects of The Royal Canadian Legion.
We have included a submission form to be used for additional stories. We encourage everyone to submit stories about their
families with military backgrounds. The submissions should be up to 200 words in length, and contain a photo as well. We
retain the right to edit but will not make any changes to content; if you misspell your name or give the wrong information, we
may not make the necessary changes.
All submissions should be sent to Gary Peters “Project Coordinator, BC/Yukon Command Military Service
Recognition Book”.
E-mail to garypeters@shaw.ca is the preferred method of receiving submissions.

If you do not have e-mail capability, perhaps you could ask someone with such access to assist. Please send stories and photos
together in the same e-mail. If photographs are e-mailed please have resolution of 300 dpi minimum at size of original and
attach to e-mail as a separate document.
If you are mailing in your submission please send to: -

Military Service Recognition Book
PO Box 209
Lantzville BC V0R 2H0
Photographs will not be returned, so if you mail one in, mail in a copy.
If you have any questions about the book or your submission contact me at garypeters@shaw.ca or call the Command Office
toll free at 1 866 340-VETS (8387) and they will try to answer your questions or put you in contact with me.
When a story is received it will be deemed submitted for inclusion and may be edited and used without any further permission
required. The maximum length of these submissions should be no longer than 200 words, and a separate sheet of paper can be
attached to this form.
Recognition for our veterans is very important all of us. So let’s get behind this project and make it another successful and
memorable publication! The Military Service Recognition Book has been published annually for the past 6 years, and will
continue to be published for the next three years.
I hope this information and form is of assistance in preparation of your histories and stories and we look forward to receiving
your submissions.
