The Portraits of Honour National Tour will be rolling into Town a week from this Friday. The Municipality of the District of Lunenburg is fully supporting the venture by proclaiming October 14th as Portraits of Honour Day in the Municipality. Mayor Don Downe says Council is also sponsoring two crosses in memory of local fallen soldiers, Corporal Paul Davis and Private Rick Green. The day's activities will include a parade, opening ceremonies, and viewing opportunities for family, students and the general public . The Friends of the Fallen Banquet will be held that evening at the Bridgewater Legion Branch 24.
The Portrait of Honour is a 10 feet by 56 feet hand painted mural, depicting the faces of all 157 of Canada's fallen in Afghanistan.
