2010 First World War Veterans lapel Pin: THE END OF AN ERA by The Royal Canadian Legion

2010 First World War Veterans Lapel Pin: THE END OF AN ERA by The Royal Canadian Legion is attractively presented on a decorative, descriptive card. Composed of a wreath of maple leaves embracing the torch of Remembrance being passed from one generation to the next, graced with a scroll announcing “Memoriam Eorum Retinebimus” – We Will Remember Them. This is a quality beautifully struck and enameled lapel pin. Wear this pin as recognition of the accomplishments of the Veterans of the First World War, and as a commitment that their memory will not fade.

For Canada, events that took place during the First World War were defining moments. Canada grew into nationhood, and those who served in the Canadian Armed Forces at that time earned a peerless reputation of courage and commitment. Two generations later, Canadians still recognize that those who served and those who died are owed a debt that can never be repaid. Now that the last of the Canadian Veterans of the First World War has passed away, it is even more important that we ensure that the memory of their sacrifices will never be forgotten. 628,736 of our fellow citizens stepped forward to serve. 66,573 of them died. The Royal Canadian Legion will always Remember.
