Veterans honoured at Legion luncheon
KAMLOOPS — Veterans and their families in Kamloops, were honoured at a special luncheon Tuesday afternoon.
Soup, sandwiches and drinks were on the menu at the Royal Canada Legion’s annual lunch at the Kamloops branch downtown. Veterans representing 3 wars and other peacekeeping missions were recognized for the sacrifices they have made.
“Well it’s just a recognition to give thanks to our veterans, they run from anywhere from Second World War all the way up to our peacekeeping and right up to Afghanistan, and in some cases members of the armed services or the RCMP, they’re all considered veterans and it’s just a thank you on behalf of Branch 52,” says Clarence Schneider, Royal Canadian Legion, Branch 52.
