Today, our warriors include those who are enlisted in the armed forces, police officers, firefighters and first responders.
It was only natural that when war broke out in Europe, our people would enlist to protect the country. There was little active recruiting for First Nations warriors for the First World War, but when the Nazi aggression became obvious the call went out for First Nations warriors.Article content
War comes with a terrible cost and the mothers of fallen soldiers would receive the silver cross.
