"Afghanistan Repatriation Memorial"
GIVE TO HONOUR, THOSE WHO GAVE
The Afghanistan Repatriation Memorial will be a beautiful, permanent memorial honouring our Canadian soldiers - the men and women who have sacrificed their lives in the conflict in Afghanistan.
Set in a park like setting on the beautiful Bay of Quinte and with 8 Wing/Canadian Forces Base Trenton - Canada's largest Air Force base nearby, the Afghanistan Repatriation Memorial will be a fitting tribute not far from where Canadian repatriation ceremonies occur and at the beginning of our fallen soldiers' journey along the Highway of Heroes, from Trenton to Toronto. These motorcades see thousands of Canadians on many of Highway 401's overpasses paying tribute to those killed in action, and their families, all the way to Toronto.
The entire site is designed to be reflective and contemplative in character and harmonize with its surroundings. Within the Memorial's circular form, two granite benches will provide seating for those who come to reflect and enjoy the peace and beauty of the memorial site and park.
How can Canadians give to help build the Afghanistan Repatriation Memorial?
Your help is needed to build this great memorial. Construction is planned to begin this summer. Please join all Canadians coast to coast who have already been giving to this Afghanistan Repatriation Memorial Fund. This is not a government initiative, but solely funded by Canadians honouring Canadian soldiers. Donations, no matter how small, will make this a reality.
Donations can be made online at www.afghanistanmemorial.ca or by mailing a cheque made out to:
The Afghanistan Repatriation Memorial Fund
PO Box 490
Trenton, Quinte West, Ontario K8V 5R6
The Afghanistan Repatriation Memorial project will be to honour those service members in a manner that will;
- Be reflective and contemplative in character;
- Harmonize with its surroundings;
- Contain the names of those who died in the conflict;
- Make no political statement about the conflict;
- Engage the community; and
- Contribute to creating a stronger sense of civic and national pride.
