Lest We Forget: Good show to all the volunteer and the Legion members that brave the cold each year with the Poppy trays hanging on their chests tied by lanyards around their necks. .. .. My Dad has passed on now as has my Mum. Dad was a RCASC driver with many years out of Camp Shilo. My mum became a nurse by way of her WAC militia training in Halifax NS. They never missed a Remembrence Day Parade. They made sure I had Cadet training although I enlisted in RCAF as a career. My son served 7 years as a Air Cadet and aged out as a Warramt officer. He was very proud to command their honor guard among the rest of the Parade procession here locally every Nov.11.
My 'dad in law' served in RCAF during WW11 as a Wireless Air Gunner officer. The Kite (Halifax Bomber)was shot down coming back from a bomber raid over Germany and was able to bail out over Belgium. From there the underground army helped him back to the Allied Forces. He aquired a trick knee from squeezing himself thru the hatch on his way out of the kite. He still survives in very good health at age 92. That is my family. God love them. ....bump

Just found this site, thought I would drop in and say hi, from the graduation class of 1970. With Rembrandt Day around the corner... thoughts to all who have served. Lest We Forget.
