There was a large crowd at the Remembrance Day service in Strathroy yesterday, which included 104-year-old World War II veteran, Retired Corporal Christopher Morant who now calls Strathroy home.
He had this message for the people gathered on Wednesday morning.
Morant’s companion Henry Salomons told the crowd a bit about his service.
The crowd then went on to sing Happy Birthday to Morant, and myFM was lucky enough to have a quick chat with him following the service.
He again expressed his gratitude to those who attend the Remembrance Day service.
Reverend Dr. Brad Morrison also honoured the 4 soldiers killed and the many who were injured in a training exercise at CFB Wainwright, Alberta last month.
The official opening ceremony for the new Veteran’s Crosswalk was held just before the Remembrance Day service and we’ll have more on that this week.
