I would really hate to get hung up on the semantics of “peacekeeping” or “peacemaking”. Each and every individual, and especially the veterans organizations, know what August 9 means, not only to the veteran group but to anybody who served Canada overseas in the mission of helping keep the peace. So I'd hate to see us get hung up on semantics here. I personally believe “peacekeepers” is the ideal word.
