THE LAST WORD Fellow Royal Canadians Pro Patria 2021 would not have been possible without the production of articles by members of our Regimental family. Thank you to those who provided assistance and guidance, in particular Lisa Twomey of Creative Spark Design, who made my task as editor a great deal easier. Please permit me to take this opportunity to express my sincere thanks to you all. It is my intent that Pro Patria continues to be a journal that reflects the values of The Regiment and provides a written record of our achievements. Please send your suggestions, comments or critiques to RHQ, Attn: The Regimental Adjutant or [email protected]. Any errors or omissions should be brought to my attention at your earliest convenience. This year Pro Patria will not be printed and distributed in the numbers it has in the past. We will adopt an ‘on demand’ philosophy with respect to publishing printed copies. The RCR Association does not provide printed copies of Pro Patria to their members. Pro Patria! Scott Robinson Captain Regimental Adjutant [ 154  PRO PATRIA 2021 ]
