As the flowers have bloomed, so will the outpouring of messages to our soldiers from friends and family as the intent is to cheer them on with a video of the rally. Thanks to the internet, it will be sent into Afghanistan so that our troops know we are 100% behind them! The rally will feature local MLA, Bonnie Korzeniowski, Special Envoy for Military Affairs and Steven Fletcher, Member of Parliament for Charleswood–St. James–Assiniboia and Parliamentary Secretary for Health, Colonel Robert Poirier, Commander of 38 Canadian Brigade Group, as well as your everyday Manitoban who just wants to say thanks! Soon enough our sons and daughters, fathers and mothers will be coming home from their gruelling work overseas, mostly in Afghanistan. Close to 720 Manitobans serving with the Canadian Forces will be coming home this fall after many months of duty. The media are invited to
cover the event-

WINNIPEG,
Man. – As a first for the Legislature grounds, on Friday, the 15th
August, at noon, the public will be wearing red shirts
and cheering on the work being done by our serving Manitoba
soldiers. A lunch-time rally is planned on the front steps of the
Manitoba Legislature just behind the “Yellow Ribbon” garden, planted
by our province as a token of Manitoba’s appreciation.
