UNION OF ITALIANS IN THE WORLD OF SAULT STE. MARIE
On May 28, the Union of Italians in the World of Sault Ste. Marie, Inc. (UIM) will honour those Italians who, as prisoners of war, survived the German Nazi Regime (1943-1945).
We will come together at the Marconi Hall, Sault Ste. Marie, at 7 p.m. for a small ceremony in their favour.
A medal of recognition will be presented to these war veterans as decided and issued by the Republic of Italy.
This is to recognize their internment as prisoners of war and to salute the hardships and mistreatments endured at that time.
The medals were authorized by the Italian government when the IOM decided that Italian prisoners of war were not to be given monetary compensation, whereas prisoners of war from other countries were.
Judge Stortini will be presenting the medals.
Tony Martin MP, City of Sault Ste. Marie, Calabrese Club, Dave Orazietti MPP, Knights of Columbus, The Calabrians Multi Cultural Society, Lorena Tridico, Father Norman Fortier, and Bennardo Jewellers will be presenting other acknowledgments.
UIM (Union of Italians in the World, Inc.), in conjunction with the Italian Consulate in Toronto are responsible for the application and procurement of the medals.
We are humbly honoured to be able to bestow thankful recognition of their efforts to those who are still with us and to the family members of those who unfortunately, are no longer with us.
