About Us
Our Mission
This website is dedicated to the brave men who made the ultimate sacrifice in service to Canada during World War I, World War II and the Korean War. We wish to reintroduce them to new generations and ensure their legacy lives on.
Our team, united by our mission, comes from diverse backgrounds and connections to North Queens. Our shared goal is to celebrate the courage and dedication of our fallen soldiers and airmen.
