FRED LEBLANC wrote on July 11, 2005 City and State: FREDERICTON NB Unit: RC SIGNALS Service or Relationship: FRIEND OF VETERAN Comments: Hi Fellow Veterans During the week-end of 02-03 July we were in Halifax and while there we decided to visit the Citadel Museum etc, and just by chance we discovered Veterans were admitted free of charge during the Year of the Veteran, mind you it is not advertised, it is just passed on verbally. We were told it applied to National Parks and establishments administered by Parks Canada, therefore while visiting any of these establishments ask for the Veteran discount, as a matter of fact it would not hurt to ask for Veterans discount at other establishments not administered by Parks Canada. Pass the word on to other Veterans on you mailing list. Have a nice summer and happy travelling.

NATALIE FLANAGAN wrote on September 14, 2003 City and State: Unit: Service or Relationship: FAMILY MEMBER Comments: Hello, Recently my grandfather passed away and I received his war medals to remember him by. They are very important to me however I would like to learn more about his involvement in the war. His name was L Cpl. GEORGE MITCHELL from Scarborough, Ontario. An old newspaper clip that I have shows my grandad with four other men from the Royal Canadian Engineers as they return from Korea - I'm not sure whether this was his role. The photo was taken in Fort Lewis, Wash. I also have a photo album with many photos that my grandfather took while he was in Korea. One is of the Ginza Beer Hall on New Years Eve (I have no idea which year). I know that my grandad played goalie (#10) for the Ft. Lewis hockey team. Any information or suggestions on where I might find more information would be greatly appreciated. Take care! Natalie Keywords: George Mitchell, Fort Lewis,
