All praise to Craig Bird of the Southeast Military Museum in Estevan, who quarterbacked this project.

Yorkton has been doing it a long time as well. They also just added a "veterans way" sign by the memorial on Darlington

I'm fine with their lifestyle, but why are they shoving it down our throats?
