Wrong, as usual. You can't trust any of these bush league left wing panty wastes,
they just lie and pull shit out of their mouths.
The CWGC budget is about 60 million pounds a year, we are responsible for about
10% of that, which is close to 10 million dollars.
That's for 110,000 known Canadian casualties.
And now you can see that 1.25 million that Veteran's Canada gets
for maintenance of 200,000 other graves is such a joke.
Almost every gravestone from WWI will have to be replaced
fairly soon, 100 years of weather has damaged a lot of them in Europe.
I visited a couple of cemeteries the last time I was in BC, can't say
I was ever impressed with their setups.
You boys need to come to Europe, and have a wander around the Cemeteries
here. You'll be deeply impressed at how well the boys are taken care of.
Until now, the leftist scum seems top have forgotten funding
for the CWGC. For now.
They fought for a country and a culture that your current government is working hard to erase so it's no surprise that they'd be neglected by people who hate everything they stood for: God, King, Canada, Honor, Bravery, Virtue, and Sacrifice.
Too True.
Even in death, veterans are underfunded.
Sad but true. Pathetic.
What's it going to take for us to stand up and make this right?

Another war. That always seems to do the trick.

So sad that it has to come to that. Us Canadians are terrible at honoring our fallen. You guys do a much better job, IMO.
A fundraiser or something through ANAF. Like Tricks suggests a little per person.
It shouldn't come to this because our government should be looking after such issues but given how crappy they are (no matter who is running things) when it comes to anything to do with our veterans it really is no surprise.

have 97 War Graves within the grounds.
The majority are in the Old Western Cemetery.
The Friends of Darwen Cemetery have prepared a
number of the War Graves ready for adoption.
We are asking interested families or organisations
if they would like to adopt a war grave to help
with the up keep.
An American Cemetery in Holland, all 8,300 graves have been adopted.
Not to clean the site, but to stop by, visit, bring flowers..

Adopt A Grave
The American Battle Monuments Commission operates and maintains 24 American cemeteries and 25 memorials, monuments and markers in 15 countries. Nearly 125,000 American war dead are buried at ABMC cemeteries, with an additional 94,000 individuals commemorated on Tablets of the Missing. Since 1945, the Dutch, and most notably the villagers of Margraten, adopted, watched over, and cared for the graves of fallen liberators. All 8,301 graves at the Netherlands American Cemetery have been adopted, and the adopters treat these soldiers as if they are their own family. Similar adoption programs can be found at the Normandy, Brittany, and Epinal Cemeteries in France, the Ardennes and Henri-Chapelle Cemeteries in Belgium, and the Luxembourg Cemetery in Luxembourg.

I don't often agree with you, but on this, you're spot on.
The Canadian war cemeteries I saw in Normandy and Vimy were kept in top notch shape. Beautiful flowers, manicured grass, cleaned headstones, etc - say what you want about the cheese-eating surrender monkeys, but they take great care of our men who never made it back home.
This story, like so many on our veterans is just sad - Canadians should care about the men and women who died for our freedom on more than just Remembrance Day.

Martin asked a few years ago for some photos of allied soldiers killed here in Canada, and that sent me to a couple war cemeteries nearby.
I thought they were beautifully kept, and very respectful places. And I was amazed, because these things were so close by and I had no idea they were even here! You might drive by the one along Yellowhead and 114th Street every day. I did, and until I went in I had no clue.
There is a movement as well, that every Remembrance Day, schools make field trips to the war memorials so that soldiers there are not forgotten.
