John Ruttan

"We believe our downtown Cenotaph is a fitting place for local residents wishing to honour Cpl. Nathan Cirillo and Warrant Officer Patrice Vincent following the tragic events that unfolded in Ottawa and St-Jean-sur-Richelieu earlier this week. Our thoughts remain with the families, friends and fellow soldiers who knew and cared for these men."
