PASSING OF Thurston Kaulbach, Tud
Thurston passed away early this week. He had been ill for some time and undergoing treatments. The only information regarding a funeral the family are looking at Saturday, December 7th. That has not been finalized
Tud was always supportive and encouraging in his communications with everyone.
His military service; his family: his interests: his travels: his contribution to veterans serving as a Director of NVOC; his character and “gentlemanliness” [he really was an Officer and a Gentleman]
Tud will be truly missed as a NVOC team member and for his sage advice
Tud thank for your many years of service to Queen and country.

Dear NATO Veterans Organization of Canada,
My name is Joon Sohn and I am from student-led organization Hold High the
Torch at École Salish Secondary. We are hosting a *Veterans Appreciation
Luncheon on Saturday May 11, 2019, 11:00am - 2:00pm at École Salish
Secondary (7278 184 St, Surrey, BC V4N 5V2). *
We want to honour our local veterans, active-duty military personnel and
their spouses/caretakers by treating them to a complimentary lunch with
great food, activities, prizes, and live entertainment provided by Pat
Chessell. The Keynote Speaker will be The Honourable Yonah Martin, Senator
from BC. It is a grateful opportunity for Surrey/Langley residents to show
our appreciation for those who served our nation and fought for our
freedoms. Attached is an invite flyer.
*We are asking for your help to promote this event among local veterans who
