General Hillier,
The Union of National Defence Employees, representing more than 16,000 public sector, private sector and separate agency employees in National Defence, professionally perform their duties in support of our troops wherever or whatever the operation may be.
It is with honour that we recognize our men and women in uniform representing Canada and the free world, who are committed to a mission that comes with sacrifices at home and abroad.
I enclose a cheque in the amount of $20K to support our troops involved in "Task Force Afghanistan". Please convey our very best regards to the troops and let them know that they are in the hearts and minds of all the members of the Union of National Defence Employees.
Sincerely,
John MacLennan
National President
