October 22 will forever be remembered

Letter to the Editor

October 22, 2014, will forever be remembered as a sad and solemn day in Canadian history.

It will be remembered for Cpl. Nathan Cirillo being killed while standing guard at the National War Memorial, as well as a gunman storming Parliament Hill before being mortally wounded by the Sergeant at Arms Kevin Vickers. Let us not forget the death of Warrant Officer Patrice Vincent a few days earlier at St.Jean sur Richelieu.

Through it all, Canadians stood strong and galvanized as a nation in the support of our fallen soldiers and in solidarity of what makes Canada so great.

We are The True, North, Strong and Free.

David Wilks,

Kootenay-Columbia M.P.
