Thank you WWII Vets

DISTRICT (Staff) – As regular readers would know, these past few months The Temiskaming Speaker has asked the public for help in making us aware of surviving World War II veterans living in our area whose stories may not have been previously published in The Speaker. The response we’ve received has been tremendous. We have conducted interviews with these veterans and their stories have been recently, or will be shortly, published in The Speaker.
In turn, these stories, along with previously published stories on World War II veterans dating back to the millennium, will be compiled in a book the paper plans to publish in late summer to coincide with the 70th anniversary of the end of World War II.
We are now at the stage where we must impose a final deadline of Friday, June 26 for any other public feedback.
Readers have until June 26 to contact The Speaker at (705) 647-6791, extension 239 or email us at gord@northernontario.ca.
