On behalf of the Woodstock Navy Vets, we would like to acknowledge the sacrifices made by our soldiers, past and present. During our Remembrance Game and on this November 11th we will remember those who have fallen and extend our gratitude, love and support to all who have served.
What a special win to dedicate to all those who serve on a very memorable night that is one of our biggest ceremonies of the season!
We would like to thank the City of Woodstock and all those who stood in our ceremony last Friday evening’s game, including P01 (Petty Officer 1) Vandermeer, and NE (New Entry) Cunningham, Mayor Jerry Acchione, Linda McLean from Action Medical, Alumni and Veteran Mike Gillespie, Retired Corporal John Burton, and the Oxford County Naval Veterans Association Colour Guard with Bagpiper Dylan Powel.
Navy Vets alumni Mike Gillespie participated in the opening ceremonies honouring the Canadian Veterans.
