He was blown away by the support offered and remarked that Op GRANITE II was the main catalyst for much of the City's renewed awareness of its military connection. As well, the Mayor complimented the Op GRANITE II Rededication Ceremony and agreed the Legion plays a significant role in the community and warrants more support.
