The editor:
I want to thank the Forever In The Clouds committee and others, namely Marie Donais Calder, Allison Holzer, Lois Wilson, Wayne Younghusband and Lester Hinzman – for the events of July 7-9.
Thank you Marie for spearheading this project – no small task when the families of the deceased pilots had to be found, on top of the fundraising to make this a reality.
Because this tragic event happened after the war, nothing was ever done to recognize these veterans. They were forgotten about by Canada, which is shameful.
I also want to thank the media for covering this event, especially David Willberg of the Estevan Mercury. Your comprehensive coverage will bring awareness of this tragedy to future generations as well as the memorial events that happened 76 years later.
