Default Scroll through list of Canada''s war dead to have Telus donate $5 to Wounded Warriors

Just like the title says, if you scroll through the page in its entirety, consisting of Canada's 117,000 honoured war dead, they'll make a donation to the Wounded Warriors foundation on your behalf.

https://community.telus.com/remember/

Works good on Google Chrome.

Once you start scrolling you really feel the gravity of whats been lost.
Could not help but wonder how many of the names listed beside each other in 191x and 194x were father and son. How many brothers, uncles....

Band of brothers going in the bluray right away.

I'm using Google Chrome, and all I got was this error message; '502 Bad Gateway'.

Not sure why that is.. maybe try updating your browser or try a different one.

Thumbs up The link works OK now

Over 80 with my last name ... two of whom I'm aware of (one WWII, one Korea).

As for the others, I'll try do some research.

Thanks for the link,

Selkirk

There are many other veterans who are no longer with us who did not make this list. Ones who returned from war and lived for many years after. I thank everyone of these brave souls who fought for the freedom I enjoy today. Lest we forget!
