The intent of this petition is to gain support for what I believe is the most fitting way to honour Corporal Nathan Cirillo, the young soldier who was killed on October 22,2014 while standing guard at the National War Memorial in Ottawa, Ontario. Without going into the political aspects of this tragic event, I simply wish to honour this young soldier who passed away protecting the Rights and Freedoms we Canadians enjoy every day.
I have written to the Prime Minister of Canada, Mr. Stephen Harper, formally requesting that a statue of Cpl. Cirillo be erected at the National War Memorial, and allow this young man the privilege of protecting the Memorial forever, as he gave his life doing. With your support, I believe this can and should be done.
Thank you for your time.

He died protecting our country and he deserves to be remembered at the memorial forever. truly a hero.
Such a tragedy. A statue is the absolute least we can do for him. Lest we forget.
YES. get this done for him. he stood guard and now he should stay there for good.
i believe very strongly that we should have our "known" soldier standing guard over our unknown soldier forever. By creating a statue of Cpl. Cirillo will bring this war monument full circle from the living to the dead. It will serve as a reminder to Canadians and the world that we support our armed forces and our country. WO Vincente and Cpl Cirillo are a very strong piece of the present and future Canada. Let us never forget. Let us forever honor.
RIP Cpl. Cirillo, thank you for your service, your bravery and most of all thank you for your sacrifice. Gone far too soon, never to be forgotten
This is a good cause
