“We have a Facebook page, the St. Walburg Veterans Banner Project, and we’ve got new members joining all the time. Families are so spread out across Canada and other places, so it’s a way for them to connect with the project.”— their connection to the community, where they served, whether they made it home. Those stories have also been printed in a booklet and shared with students at the local school.
“Everybody loves hearing the stories. There’s a lot of buzz around town, and everybody looks forward to seeing the banners. People are coming in from lots of different places to look at them.”
