World War Two Queen's Own veteran Jack Wellsbury was introduced at centre ice and 2/Lt Scott Newhall sang the U.S. and Canadian National Anthems to close the ceremony.

• There will be three points of direct return however; Vancouver, Calgary and Toronto.
  
  
• I have attached an updated itinerary for use on the website. There may be changes to this as well, as time passes and I'll continue to send you updates, through your associations.
  
  
• There are promotional flyers for Toronto and Vancouver and I am waiting for the one for Calgary and will send it to you as soon as it is available.
  
  
• Starting in the new year, I will send you frequent updates with the list of those who have booked the trip. This will be posted on the website as well to let everyone know who is going on the tour.
  
  
• If you have questions Bob Dunk can be contacted at rjdunk@rogers.com or contact your local Association branch president.

Bob Dunk reports that, "As you will see, the trip is scheduled at a leisurely pace with plenty of personal time and extended stays at the various hotels. No "on the bus...off the bus" on this tour. It is a good mix of military and personal history with fun events thrown in such as a Rhine cruise and a tour of Medieval Zutphen."
