NATO Veterans Organization is looking for NATO & NORAD Veterans

The NATO Veterans Organization is now almost 2 years old and has grown from 5 members in March 2006 to close to 511 members at present. We know that there are 250.000 veterans of the Canadian Armed Forces that have served as part of NATO since 1949. They have served at sea with the NAVY patrolling the Atlantic Ocean, the ARMY in Germany, France, the Balkans and now in Afghanistan and the AIR FORCE in France, Germany and many other places

They were involved in the defence of the Alliance in order to prevent the outbreak of World War III. They are sometimes called the "Cold War Veterans" but have never been recognized as VETERANS. They left 570 Military personnel and the 926 dependents buried in 44 Cemeteries in Europe since WW II, yes 1496 Canadians never returned to Canada, but they have never been honoured in any way.

We would like these Veterans to contact us by either visiting our Web Site, e-mailing joordens@nbnet.nb.ca or calling 506-472-1931

FSNA Board awaiting appellate court lawyer’s advice

FSNA’s National Board of Directors is awaiting the expert independent advice of an appellate court lawyer regarding the appeal of the dismissal verdict rendered in the pension surplus court case last November.
This decision was taken following a meeting with representatives of all the plaintiffs and their legal counsels on January 23, 2008 to further discuss the three notices of appeal that were filed on December 28, 2007 by the Public Service Alliance of Canada; by the Professional Institute of the Public Service of Canada on behalf of the other National Joint Council Bargaining agents and other organizations, including FSNA; and by the Armed Forces Pensioners’/ Annuitants’ Association of Canada in conjunction with SSEA, now the Canadian Association of Professional Employees.
It is expected that it would take at least a year before the Ontario Court of Appeal hears any appeal.
