Dear Editor:
I am a member of the Royal Canadian Mounted Police and for the past 17 years have been stationed in North Vancouver. Over the years it has been an honour for my colleagues and I to participate in the Remembrance Day ceremonies. This annual, well attended event truly represents the generous community spirit of North Vancouver. I wish to acknowledge the community's support and appreciation for our veterans and Canadian military personnel on this memorial day.
I was humbled by the noticeable show of appreciation the RCMP received as we marched up Lonsdale Avenue. It provided my colleagues and me with the inspiration and encouragement that our efforts to keep this community safe are appreciated. To the veterans and Canadian military personnel, thank you for our freedom and many privileges we enjoy in Canada.
Paul Duffy (S/Sgt.) Community Policing Section, North Vancouver Royal Canadian Mounted Police
