Vegreville Royal Canadian Legion Branch No. 39 Press Release:
Vegreville, AB – To help celebrate the 100th Anniversary of the Royal Canadian Air Force, the Vegreville Branch of The Royal Canadian Legion has gone blue.
The RCAF, which officially turned 100 years old on April 1st has requested as many Legion Branches and public buildings to turn their exteriors blue in recognition of this significant milestone.
To date over three hundred buildings in twenty countries have committed to be part of this project. In Canada well known structures like the Alberta Legislature, CN Tower in Toronto, the Montreal Tower, Calgary Tower, Vancouver Sails of Light and Niagara Falls are participating as well as public buildings in twenty other countries, not only in an attempt to set a Guinness World Record but to honour the RCAF and those who have served.
In World War I, Canadians served with the Royal Flying Corps, then the Royal Air Force. With the creation of a Canadian service, they continued to serve and set high benchmarks for other military organizations.
