August 11^th, 2018 - Branch 244, Hemmingford held a ceremony to observe Peacekeeping Day and to honour the service and sacrifice involved in United Nation Peacekeeping Missions around the World.

August the 9^th was chosen because on that date in 1974 the greatest single loss of Canadian lives on a peacekeeping mission occurred.

Nine Canadian Peacekeepers serving with the United Nation Emergency in Egypt and Israel were flying in a Canadian Forces Buffalo transport aircraft on UN Service which was shot down by Syrian air defense missile while preparing to land at Damascus, Syria on a regular resupply mission.

There were no survivors.

We will remember them!
