Lhoosk’uz Dené Nation is proud to honour the memory and service of Thomas (Tom) Baptiste, a World War II veteran, with the placement of a new headstone at the Nazko Graveyard.
On November 10, Nazko Valley Elementary hosted a Veterans Memorial Dedication to recognize Tom’s service and unveil his memorial.
Tom Baptiste (1910–1984) served as a Private in the Canadian Forces during World War II. His new headstone stands as a lasting tribute to his service, sacrifice and legacy.
We thank everyone who helped make this memorial possible and joined together to honour his memory.
Lest We Forget.
