HI
thanks for the responses. So people will see it if I just post it once - excellent.
I am with metrolandmedia - the piece will run in early november in publications across Ontario - many, many local papers. I'm in the Muskoka area but am writing this for the whole region. Would love to hear from people from my neck of the woods tho!
We really don't plan to twist anyone's words. We want you to be able to guide the story. Is the transition from CF to home easy? hard? are you treated fairly?
I've talked with Pat Stogran - who obviously doesn't think you are being treated fairly. Today, my colleague is talking with the minister of veterans affairs - I'm not sure what he'll have to say.
As I read the related posts, it looks like vets are coming up against some pretty frustrating red tape but we will present the facts as they are presented to us - hopefully by you.
Part of the piece will be honouring the traditional vets from WWII and Korea and looking at how the experience may have changed over the generations.
Hope to hear from some people. Because we're local, I need to hear from personnel from Ontario.
Thanks to everyone though, for all you do!
