Family members and officials also laid six wreaths in tribute to all Saskatchewan veterans.
“I just feel very proud of Byron. He’s looking down from heaven at us and he’s smiling, I know he is,” said Candy Greff whose son was killed in a suicide attack on a military convoy in Kabul in 2011. The 26 year old was from Swift Current.
Many of the people at the memorial said it was also a way to show others the freedoms they enjoy are due to brave young men and women who gave their lives for their country.
