Home / Member News / Indigenous Veterans’ Day and Remembrance Day Message
For those in the community who do not know me, I am Cliff Jamieson, the recently hired Human Resource Manager for Splatsin.
I am a military veteran, who served as an infantry officer and paratrooper in Afghanistan, Iraq, the former Yugoslavia, Cyprus, Germany, and many other locations in North America and Europe. During my service in the Canadian Army, in both the Princess Patricia’s Canadian Light Infantry and the British Columbia Dragoons, I have had the pleasure to serve alongside scores of outstanding Indigenous soldiers. I would like to take this opportunity to salute them, and indeed all, Indigenous veterans this Friday, November 8, on Indigenous Veterans’ Day.
I ask everyone, on both Indigenous Veterans’ Day and Remembrance Day, to honour all veterans — especially those who gave the Ultimate Sacrifice, so that all of us may live in peace.
“With the going down of the sun, we will remember them.”
