Lest we forget. My great-grandfather William John Eaton was #137 when he joined the Royal Newfoundland Regiment.

Today is #NationalForgetMeNotDay. Forget-me-nots have an important connection to NL’s identity and history. Many people wear them on July 1 -NL’s Memorial Day - to remember and honour the sacrifice of the Royal Newfoundland Regiment at the Battle of Beaumont-Hamel in 1916.

[Conception Bay South @TownofCBS]

Today we honour and remember all those who have served and sacrificed in support of peace. We will remember them. #LestWeForget

Welcomed invite 2 participate in Remembrance Sunday at Wesley United Church, St. John’s. Joined others including Singing Legionaries, uniformed officers & Mayor @DannyBreenNL in remembering all who paid the ultimate sacrifice during war & all who continue to serve. #LestWeForget

[Fred Hutton @Fred_Hutton]

Today I’m thinking of an interview I did last year with WW 2 gunner Leo Knox, one of the last surviving members of the 166th NFLD Field Regiment. He died in January, just days before his 94th birthday. He attended Remembrance Day ceremonies for 74 years. #LestWeForget @VOCMNEWS

[Premier of NL @PremierofNL]

Today we commemorate those who have laid down their lives for our freedom.

Thank you to the men & women of the @CanadianForces and our own Royal Newfoundland Regiment for their continued service and sacrifice.

Freedom is not free.
It comes with a great price.
#LestWeForget.

[Philip Wood @BR_Resident]

Thank You @PremierofNL for launching this year's Poppy Campaign and the tremendous support the Government of Newfoundland and Labrador has given to the Veterans and Legion over the years. LEST WE FORGET

[Premier of NL @PremierofNL]

It was an honour to welcome the @LegionNLCA today for the 25th anniversary of the #FlyTheFlag of Remembrance ceremony. We wear a poppy as a tribute to all our veterans, past and present in all conflicts — and to truly reflect on the meaning of service and sacrifice. #lestweforget
