I would like to hear Jack's comments on my suggestion of May 29. I am not saying that your opinion is not valid.
I would like May 29 to be as important for the blue helmets as November 11, Remembrance Day, is for veterans. I am really not too concerned about whether we refer to “peacekeeping” or “peacekeepers”. What matters is that people remember what you did and pay homage to the memory of those who died in action.
August 9 would not work as well. It would not be the same as having the opportunity to mark it in the House of Commons and talk about it all across Canada.
That is my opinion, I would like to hear yours.
