“There is a real need for people to show their support to the families of the fallen, and to honour their ultimate sacrifice in the name of peace,” said Lisa Twomey, founder of Fallen Heroes Memorial Fund. “We are excited to have DeWalt onboard as our first national level sponsor. The company’s financial commitment to the fund will help ensure that families of lost soldiers are able to commemorate their sacrifice.”

The grants to the families of Canadian soldiers lost during military operations may fund a physical memorial, or be used as a donation in their memory to a favourite charity.

“We feel it is important to recognize the sacrifices these proud men and women make for our country,” said Paul Huffman, national manager for DeWalt Canada. “The Fallen Heroes Memorial Fund is a great charity that helps to ensure we don’t forget what these heroes did for our country, and DeWalt is proud to support such a cause.”
