THE HAVRE BOUCHER VETERANS ASSOCIATION
The Havre Boucher Veteran’s Association was formed
in 1987. The purpose of the formation of this Association
was twofold. First was to spearhead veteran’s interest
in the erection of a cenotaph as a monument to those
who served in both World War I and World War II; and
second, to hold an annual Remembrance Day ceremony in
Havre Boucher. Over the past sixteen years members of
this association were very active in carrying out both
the annual Remembrance Day Parade and the maintenance
of the Cenotaph. As these members grow old and fewer
in numbers, it is imperative that some action be taken
to ensure that the annual Remembrance Day Parade continues
in Havre Boucher and maintenance of the Cenotaph is preservered
as a monument to both those who served and those that
made the Supreme Sacrifice. In World War I, there were
over 75 members of our community that were enlisted.
Seven were killed and three wounded. In world War II, 103 members
enlisted to serve of which five were killed To ensure
the continuation of the above, The Havre Boucher Veterans
Association has applied for Society status. In the near
future mail contact will be made with all sons, daughters,
grandsons and granddaughters of all Veterans from the
Havre Boucher and Area to encourage them to become members
of the Association.
An invitation is also extended to
the rest of the community to join this worthwhile organization. You
do not have to be a relative or descendent of a veteran
to join this Association.Participation
from a meeting standpoint is not essential .This initiation
drive is being activated to ensure that the annual Remembrance
Day Parade held on a Sunday in early November continue
for future years and future generations. The Havre Boucher
Veterans Association is dependent on the support of
the community and those descendants of the brave women
and men who served in both World Wars and made the sacrifice
to ke
ep our freedom and especially those
who gave their lives and made the “Supreme Sacrifice”
After joining our Association we would also encourage
all members to join the Royal Canadian Legion of their
choice. And please join the annual parade from the Fire
Hall to the Cenotaph on our local Remembrance Day ceremonies, surely a
small sacrifice compared to War.
