The Town of Essex is looking to honour the men and women who served our country in times of war, military conflict and peace by sharing the stories of local veterans.

A collection of stories will be highlighted on the Town’s website to pay tribute to the heroic individuals who served in World War I, World War II, the Korean War, Afghanistan, and the Canadian Peace Support Operations as well as Active Duty and Reserves.

“We are honoured to recognize our local veterans here in the Town of Essex. The memory of your sacrifice will not be forgotten.” said Mayor, Town of Essex.

In addition, the Town of Essex, in partnership with the Royal Canadian Legion, will hold the annual Remembrance Day Ceremony on November 11 to honour Veterans who have fallen, and those who continue to serve our Country. Stay tuned for additional details.

Anyone who knows of a local veteran from the Town of Essex is asked to share their story and their connection to the Town by completing the online form at www.essex.ca/veterans.
