Afghanistan Memorial Forest

[Ed Storey]

I agree that it would be nice to be able to access the history of each person when walking the grounds, especially as the technology exists to do it. Much like having someone oversee the grounds keeping, this would mean that there would have to be a dedicated person to manage the database.

I have contacted the R22eR association about the dead tree and I hope that they will follow up by contacting the base. I also e-mailed Garrison Petawawa about it and I have since heard back from a base Public Affairs Officer that the tree will be replaced. Good thing I spotted it as it is anyone's guess how long that dead tree would have stood there. Sad when you think about it, no-one really seems to care about such things anymore unless you bring it to their attention.
