Mr. Speaker, Corporal William Titford of Spaniard’s
Bay was recently presented the Minister of Veterans
Affairs Commendation.
The Commendation is given to individuals who have
contributed to the care and well-being of veterans and
to the remembrance of their contributions, sacrifices
and achievements.
Corporal Titford served with the Canadian Armed
Forces from 1960 to 1973 as a supply technician and is
currently a member of the Royal Canadian Legion,
Corporal Matthew Brazil, Branch 9 in Spaniard’s Bay.
He has held numerous positions at various levels of the
organization and actively promoted the concerns of
veterans.
Corporal Titford was instrumental in introducing the Fly
the Flag of Remembrance, and in having the
Conception Bay North bypass road named the Veterans
Memorial Highway. He is currently researching and
documenting the history of more than 170 war memorials
throughout the Province. Promoting and preserving the
history of the Legion and the sacrifice for freedom has
become a personal quest for Corporal Titford.
I ask all members to join me in extending
congratulations to Corporal William Titford of
Spaniard’s Bay on receiving this Commendation. |
