Again, during the Canadian events we had that day at Juno Beach, the department and the Canadian Armed Forces ensured that there were 13 Canadian flags that were flying and went up the flagpole that day. Members of the Canadian Armed Forces actually took those flags and made sure they wrapped them appropriately. Members of Veterans Affairs Canada ensured that they were placed in beautiful shadow boxes, Mr. Casey, to be presented to each of our elderly veterans at our last ceremony that evening, at the last evening of our events.
I remember very clearly, actually, that Mr. Richards came up to me and said, “What a beautiful touch that was,” that we were able to present each and every veteran with a flag that flew on Juno Beach the day of the Canadian service.
I can tell you, with regard to every event we attended, that if the committee allows me, I'd be more than happy to table many pictures of the events that occurred that week, to ensure that people can see that we were quite proud in ensuring that our Canadian flag was present. I'm sure that many members of the committee who were there would be able to testify to that as well.
