This year marks the 65th anniversary of The War Amps Key Tag Service.

Ontario residents receiving their 2011 key tags starting this week will learn how their support of that valuable service allows the association to continue its tradition of “amputees helping amputees.”

A letter enclosed with the key tags tells the story of War Amps member Ralph Hodgson, who lost his leg at Vimy Ridge in World War I.

Key tags protect any keys, not just car keys. Since 1946, The War Amps has returned more than one million sets of keys, and the service is more vital than ever with the extremely high replacement cost of keys and remote devices.

For more information, or to order key tags, call 1-800-250-3030 or visit waramps.ca.
