Extract from the CTV.ca News site

Veterans are demanding the government finally heed their calls for security around Ottawa's National War Memorial after a group of hooligans urinated on the site during Canada Day celebrations.

"It is abhorrent. It is vile. It is an insult to anyone who has ever served," Bob Butt of the Royal Canadian Legion said Monday.

On Saturday night, retired Maj. Michael Pilon captured pictures of several men defacing the Ottawa monument after the holiday fireworks.

Dr. Pilon, who served with the Royal Canadian Dental Corps, said most of the crowd reacted with cheers and laughter.

However, the photos were published in local Ottawa newspapers, and people interviewed by CTV News clearly did not approve.

The legion plans to use the photos to pressure the government for increased security at the monument.

....................All I can say is, I think I understand how the War Memorial feels !
