A drumhead from the Sarnia Legion Pipe Band, which commemorates the 10th anniversary of the end of Canadian involvement in the War in Afghanistan, has been donated to the Plympton-Wyoming Museum.

Every year drumheads are created to commemorate a different Act of Remembrance, said Bass Drummer Todd Monaghan. The drum heads are placed on the drums at the beginning of each year
and are removed shortly after Remembrance Day.

The drumhead features two silver crosses, which remembers the two Lambton County residents who gave the ultimate sacrifice in Afghanistan, Private William Cushley in 2006 and Corporal Brent Poland in 2007.

A ribbon to recognize suicide awareness is also on the drumhead, as many came home from Afghanistan battling mental health and post traumatic stress disorder. The drumhead will be apart of the Plympton-Wyoming Museum’s military collection.
