The RCD and RCR will celebrate their 125th Anniversary in 2008. There is a joint parade planned for 7 June 2008 on Parliament Hill in Ottawa.
That should turn into a send-off parade for the 3 RCR BattleGroup for TF 3-08, no? And if the writing is on the wall, then it will be Canada's last "combat mission" so that we can go back toDDTremblay said:There is a joint parade planned for 7 June 2008 on Parliament Hill in Ottawa.

Sounds like a great idea! Why doesn't some high ranking PPCLI officer "make this happen?" I'm certain that The RCR can return the favour in 2039!3rd Herd said:As to the RCR, thank god we are not running across Canada with another birthday card for you.

3rd Herd said:History repeating itself!!!!!!!!!!!!! No the RCR can just return the one we already ran to them. Ottawa in somewhere around the 23rd or so of August 2014 would be nice. But as to the exact day we can leave the regimental pundits to sort that out.

Whoever THAT is, sure, he can run it. As for me, well, I'll be retired by then (God Willing!)ArmyVern said:A run to Ottawa to return the Birthday card in 2014?? That's not so far from London now is it. I'll wager 10 bucks they've only got to begin practicing for this in 2009; 5 years work-up ought to do it. Von G will take the lead leg of the journey.

Captain Sensible said:Yes, this is indeed for serving members. I also liked the following warning on the kitshop site:
WARNING - KNIVES ARE SHARP!
;D
JDBeach said:For those interested, the RCR kit shop has a commemorative bayonet for the occasion. It can be ordered by those who contribute to the VCP, I believe.
The kit shop's website wasn't working for me, but I found this:

And who is eligible to purchase the bayonet:
To order the 125 Commemorative Bayonet, you must be:
If currently serving in the Regiment, paying the current recommended rates for the Voluntary Contributions Program.
