“In wake of Wainwright tragedy, this year's Silver Cross Mother has a message for grieving families”

Virginia Hicks is this year's national Silver Cross Mother, an annual tradition by the Royal Canadian Legion recognizing the mother of a fallen Canadian Armed Forces member each Remembrance Day. Every year she visits CFB Petawawa in northern Ontario, where her daughter Sapper Mariebeth Short was killed during a training exercise in 2002.
