Remembrance Day
This Remembrance Day, I want to recognize 3 generations of the Williamson family. My dad, Paul Williamson, serves as the Honorary Colonel of the 56th Field Artillery Regiment. When he retired from The Williamson Group, he remained committed to giving back to the community. He chose the 56th to not only support the community but to honour his father, Colonel Donald D. Williamson, the top-ranking Canadian in the First Special Service Force (FSSF) formed during WWII as the first multinational (Canada/US) elite commando force. During his service, he fought for equality in compensation and recognition for his Canadian men who were fighting alongside their American counterparts. This fight persists today; equal work deserves equal pay and our work to make this a reality is not yet done. Continuing to honour these values is my niece, Emma Williamson, who is the author of "Lessons From Soldiers and Veterans For the Youth of Today", a collection of stories and memories shared through her conversations with Canadian Veterans. We are proud to have a limited supply of Emma's books for sale in our office, with 100% of the proceeds being donated back to the brave soldiers of the 56th Field Artillery Regiment.
Today, and always, we thank you for your service.
