Everybody has a story to tell, Submitted Stories We want to hear your stories relating to one or more of the important anniversaries being celebrated as part of Canadian Forces Weekend 2009, at 8 Wing/CFB Trenton. CF Weekend committee members are busy working diligently in preparation for this July, when the Wing will host one of the biggest historical weekends in the country this year. With an estimated 50,000 of our “closest friends” expected to attend the two-day event on July 4 and 5, (which, may I also say, is absolutely free-of-charge), there will be something for everyone to enjoy. The weekend itself will pay tribute to some major anniversaries this year, including the 100th Anniversary of Powered Flight in Canada, the 85th Anniversary of the Royal Canadian Air Force, the 60th Anniversary of the Memorial Gates, and the 25th Anniversary of the National Air Force Museum in Canada. Do you remember when the museum first opened? Were you, or someone you know, present for the dedication of the Memorial Gates? Do you have any historical photographs relating to the history we are celebrating this year? If you answered yes to any of the above questions, we would really like to hear from you. Please send your story and/or photo submissions to cfstories@gmail.com. If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact Amber Gooding at 613-392-2811 local 3978 or at amber.gooding@forces.gc.ca.
