Hi RCR Members and AF's that have swerved under the NATO Flag
We have formed the first and only NATO Veterans Orgnization in Canada and at writing of this message we have 150+ members from across Canada. We are a Tri-Service and Bi-lingual organization and are 5 month old
Our two-fold Aim is to be recognized as NATO Veterans in the COLD WAR period in Germany and France, later in Bosnia and now in Afghanistan. We accept members that have served in NATO, even if it is only a few days, so you dont need to have received the SSM Medal
Our other Aim is to honour our 570 Comrades and 926 Depoendents that are buried in 44 Cemetery's in Europe. We will be meeting with the Min of Veterans Affairs
Please visit our Website at http://natoveterans.org or send us a message at joordens@nbnet.nb.ca or call us at 506-472-1931
We really like to hear from you and we hope you will join us. Our membership dues are $ 10.00 per year
Thom Joordens, President

Sounds good. Spent eight years playing silly bugger throughout central Europe as did thousands of others fine Canadians who were willing to confront the Russian bear head on. Be nice to hook up with some brothers, and sisters, I met in the land of the beerstube.
