Honouring our Veterans
As a leader in honouring military service, Ontario Command proudly publishes its annual Military Service Recognition Book (MSRB), recognizing Veterans who have lived in Ontario and have served – or continue to serve – in the Canadian Armed Forces, as well as Commonwealth or Allied Forces.
This special publication celebrates and preserves their legacy. Veterans, family members, and friends are invited to share a story and photo of a Veteran they know. Submissions are accepted year-round through your local Legion Branch. Please send all submissions directly to your Branch, not to Provincial Command Headquarters.
Branches must forward completed submissions to their Provincial Representative no later than May 15 each year.

Supporting Veterans Through Community Efforts
Beyond producing the annual Book of Recognition, this initiative plays a vital role in raising funds to support Ontario’s Veterans. Through a province-wide telephone appeal and advertising campaign conducted by our official publishing partner, Fenety Marketing, individuals and businesses are invited to invest in a program that both honours service and strengthens Veteran support services.
Funds raised directly sustain essential Veteran Transition Programs, providing practical assistance, personalized guidance, and access to critical resources. These programs help Veterans successfully adjust to civilian life through supporting employment pathways, housing stability, access to benefits, wellness services, and community integration. Every contribution helps ensure Veterans and their families receive meaningful, ongoing support.
By participating – whether by submitting a story, purchasing advertising, or contributing to the campaign – you are helping preserve our Veterans’ legacies while actively supporting their future.
Help us honour stories of courage, service, and sacrifice. Visit your local Legion Branch to submit a story.
