Sergeant Phillips, an instructor at the Canadian Forces Medical Service School/Canadian Forces Dental Services School in Borden, is launching an initiative to build a permanent memorial commemorating Health Services personnel killed in active duty since the Boer War. Phillips is requesting the support of Health Services Group from across Canada to help fund the creation of this tribute, which will be erected on the Canadian Forces Medical Service School/Canadian Forces Dental Services School grounds. One of the ways you can help support this initiative is through the Buy a Brick, Build a Legacy campaign. The cenotaph will be bordered with bricks and the Memorial committee is selling these bricks for $100 each, which can be purchased by an individual, a group of individuals or as a unit. All those that purchase a brick will receive a certificate to commemorate their contribution. A plaque with their name will also be mounted on the brick. If everything goes as planned, this project will be completed for the Remembrance Day in 2008.
