MURPHY
on Monday, December 16, 2019
Honouring the sacrifices many have made for our country in the name of freedom and democracy
is the very foundation of Remembrance Day.
Respect and protect our veterans who have served during wartime and peacetime. Utilize your
democratic right and hold all accountable to protect the freedoms we have, at a cost that was so great.
