Today we remember Corporal Nathan Cirillo, who was killed 6 years ago on Oct.22, 2014 while standing as ceremonial guard at the National War Memorial in Ottawa. “Corporal Cirillo never left his post. Forever more he shall stand sentry, on guard for Canada.” #LestWeForget

Earlier this year, Canada suffered its worst military tragedy in over a decade, when six servicemembers were killed in a helicopter crash.
Every news outlet covered it.
None of them covered the amazing thing that happened afterwards.

The Poppy Campaign is approaching! The Legion welcomes more than thirty corporate partners this year. Because of them, Canadians will be able to donate at close to 25,000 locations across the country and get a poppy. Find out more: https://t.co/APYxNrqLCc
