“On behalf of our Canadian veterans and their families, living in the United Kingdom, the Canadian Women’s Club and the Veterans’ Support Committee, would like to express our sincere appreciation, to IODE. Your generous donation of £3100.00, received for Christmas 2007, was greatly need and appreciated by our veterans.”

From the Veterans:

“Thank you for your generous gift. It always amazes me how you always care so great for other people like me and believe me I am grateful. Actually, I have so much to thank God for. I live in sheltered housing where I have my own lovely flat, which has a balcony garden. I grow flowers – cyclamens and pansies and had a good crop of tomatoes this year.”

“It is good to know that some people care about what the Canadian service men and women went through.”

“To all Canadian IODE – Thank you very much for the cheque. It will help me very much at this time of year. I am near 85 years and things wear out so I can get something I need. Since I lost my husband after 60 years’ married, you have been very good to me.”

“I am writing to let you know how much I appreciated your generosity and to thank you for thinking of us on this side of the Atlantic at this special time of year. I only wish that we could do something to repay you for your kindness.”
