Have Veterans Affairs recognize the plaque of HISTORIC significance and set it in the CWM alongside the huge (and similar) T. Eaton Memorial plaque in the Lebreton Gallery (my favourite suggestion). Anyways I once more thank you for "doing the right thing" in the past by saving it and hope it is given a fitting and respectful place for display into the future.

James, I've thought of giving it to the ROM but for now I will hang on to it. The Ottawa one is to far for me, although it probably is the best place for this plaque.
