THE PHYSICAL MONUMENT - CONSTRUCTION

THE VIRTUAL COMPONENT
The Canadian Fallen is the Virtual Component of the National Wall of Remembrance. It is a tribute to the over 120,000 men and women who have given the ultimate sacrifice for our country in times of war and peacekeeping.

A Message from the Chairman
More than 120,000 Canadian men and women serving in the Canadian and Allied armed forces have made the ultimate sacrifice to ensure that future generations of Canadians live in a free and democratic country. These courageous individuals are buried in cemeteries in Canada, Europe, Russia, South Africa, North Africa, India, Burma, Japan, South Korea and Hong Kong. Many have no marked grave, and many were lost at sea.
Our mission is to provide one place of Remembrance, both physical and virtual, as an enduring tribute to these brave souls.
Together, with your support, we will erect a permanent monument to the Fallen in the city of Kingston, Ontario, birthplace of much of Canada’s military history. The virtual component is already alive at www.canadianfallen.ca. We encourage you to visit the site and search for relatives, submit photos and documents relevant to a profile or read in Remembrance Magazine about major conflicts Canadians have been engaged in.
Our secondary objective, after the monument is erected, will be to ensure the long-term sustainability of both the monument and the virtual space. As an Association aligned with the Canadian Armed Forces, we will also be supporting organizations whose mission is to assist veterans and their families.
Together we can get this done.
Sincerely,
Call for Submissions

ABOUT NWORA
Remembering Those Who Sacrificed
Although most of our dead are buried abroad, this project will bring our fallen home. This is not a war memorial – it will not take the place of local cenotaphs or memorials that already exist. It is a tribute to the many men and women who gave their lives for our freedom.
EXECUTIVE / ADVISORY BOARDS
