The Loyal Edmonton Regiment Military Museum dedicates this section of our Web site to the men and women who have served, and who continue to serve, in the Canadian military. Their sacrifices ensure that we continue to live in a free and democratic country.
The goal of this section of our Web site is to educate Canadians
- to understand the sacrifices that the men and women of the Canadian military have made throughout our nation's history;
- to recognize that, through these sacrifices, the military has helped to preserve and shape the rights and freedoms that we possess today;
- to be aware of the larger influence that war has had on the Canadian nation; and, ultimately,
- to appreciate the cost of our freedom.
