What's even more gratifying is the banner was raised across the street from the house in which Dafoe was raised.
I proudly sponsored a banner this year in #Madoc Ontario for its annual remembrance program honouring local veterans — a highly commendable initiative. Mine remembers Dr Colin Scott Dafoe (1909-1969), with the #RAMC motto In Arduis Fidelis — “faithful in adversity.”
