Amid ceremonies, veterans offer support

As thousands gathered Monday for a Remembrance Day ceremony at the Grand Parade in Halifax, their numbers included veterans of United Nations and NATO missions present as a reminder support is available to those still suffering from war trauma. Angus (Gus) Cameron, an advocate for veterans, stood at attention with other veterans who served in UN- and NATO-sanctioned operations ranging from the Korean War to the Iraq and Afghanistan conflicts. The 57-year-old veteran said he comes to the ceremony each year to pay his respects and also to remind any veterans who may be suffering that his group is present to provide fellowship and to make suggestions for help.
