Lest We Forget

Beautiful Burlington City hall this morning was a great place to be.Nov 11

The Burlington Teen Tour Band played God Save the Queen while hundreds in attendance paid their respects to our fallen soldiers, and most recently Cpl. Nathan Cirillo. All around our country today, millions stopped for a moment of silence and bowed their heads in solemn remembrance.

One Burlington resident, 85-year-old Betty Laron had emigrated to Burlington from Holland with her late husband Leon. When Betty was 13, she and her parents were in hiding for 786 days in the upstairs of a home in rural Holland. This evening on the History Channel, Betty reflects on her time during the war and the overwhelming relief she and her family felt when their town was liberated by Canadian soldiers. Betty`s husband was a long-time Rotarian in Holland and had become a member of the Burlington Lakeshore Rotary Club.

Tune in to the History channel this evening at 8:00pm to hear the story of Betty Laron.
