General : Métis Nation Veterans Memorial Unveiled at Juno Beach
Posted by admin on 2009/11/12 8:40:00 (211 reads)

Courseulles-sur-Mer, France -- A memorial to the thousands of Métis Nation citizens who served in the World Wars was dedicated today at the Juno Beach Centre in Courseulles-sur-Mer, France.


“On behalf of all Métis, I express my joy and pride in being here today to commemorate and celebrate the service and sacrifice of the Métis Nation’s greatest heroes; our veterans of the world wars,” said President Clément Chartier. “This memorial is a reminder of the debt we all owe to those Métis who fought, were wounded or died protecting world freedom, giving us and future generations the means to strive for a prosperous and strong Métis Nation.”

The memorial features a Red River Cart, one of the most recognized symbols of the Métis Nation. It also includes artifacts from Métis culture and history, and exhibits highlighting the contributions of Métis soldiers, sailors and aircrew during the World Wars and in the Canadian landing in Juno Beach as part of the 1945 liberation of Europe.
