Globe and Mail collecting wartime stories, photos and mementoes

[AdrianMorrow]

I'm  a reporter at the Globe and I wanted to let you know that we're collecting remembrances -- in the form of stories, photos and other mementoes -- from veterans and their families for our Remembrance Day coverage this year. We're hoping to present the experiences of veterans across the decades, from the World Wars to Afghanistan. We're looking for both the experiences of veterans overseas and their families back home. If you have anything you'd be willing to share with us, you can email it to community@globeandmail.com

More information on the project -- which will run online and in the paper the week leading up to Rememberance Day -- is at: http://www.theglobeandmail.com/news/national/Remembrance_Day/share-your-wartime-remembrances/article2198822/

Don't hesitate to get in touch with me if you have any questions.

Warm regards,

Adrian Morrow

It's a great piece written by Sgt. Ed Wadleigh of Deep River, Ont.

I thought this was an excellent piece of writing. I particularly liked the answers on why he was in Afghanistan. None of them were the usual heroic media quotes but rather simple personal reasons.
A smart man writing with great common sense.

Very well thought out and very well written.
