Good video . Thanks. I wish they could at least wait until after Nov 11 to advertise for Xmas.
I remember their sacrifice often ,but Nov 11 is a special day for me - father was overseas from 1939 - 1945 . Amazing he survived , although he was never himself again.
Thanks Dad.

Let's all remember
My Grandfather WWII vet is still alive
We are here because of the vet's
great video- my grandfather got gassed in the trenches in WW1 and lived- lost a lung- and then was an air raid warden in WW11 - and my dad did merchant marine runs- no guns - in WW11 -
2 minutes - hell it should be a national day off of remembrance.
all they ask is 2 min of your time once a year.
My dad lied about his age to fight for our country. He was in the Korean War too. Military brat here.
A good video... I wonder what it will be like with a Trudeau in power and in a couple years.
One of my favourite sites.

His dad was a jam tart, he will probably be one also? It'll be interesting to see this pathetic little turd show up at a remembrance day memorial. His drama classes will bode him well no doubt?Quote:

Saw this on another forum I visit - a member's Dad. "The hockey sweater saved my life" Thought it was amazing. :)

Today I attended our national ceremony in Ottawa.
It was a moving event.
During the broadcast of the ceremony I was shown at 39/40 seconds into this link.

Thanks to all the Vets
Always think of my Dad to day. 6 years overseas (1939-1946) with the Hastings Prince Edward Regiment. Came home psychologically wounded, never to be the same. Thank you Dad for your sacrifice.

Until I die I will never forget Korea - what I saw and experienced - I'll be 84 later this month but many of the guys never got past 24 - I came back bitter because of the way the politicians handled the war and the way it was fought - there should not be a North Korea today -
Once Russia started throwing in fighter jets and pilots and China added well over a million soldiers the only nation that was in debate was South Korea, even with the UN and US forces there was no chance of pushing North Korea out of existence. Number's of dead weren't an issue for Mao and his gov't, in their cultural revolution and purges they killed over 50,000,000 and almost 30 years ago the same party sent tanks to run over students and even today that same gov't is in power and building new islands to extend it's territory and increasing military spending. A friend of my dad described firing artillery at point blank range at wave attacks until they ran out of shells then setting charges off and running, no tactics just a mass of bodies, estimates range from 600,000 to 1 million casualties of the Chinese alone. Russia had the nuclear bomb at this point, the leadership had no problem with blood baths of it's people so North Korea wasn't going anywhere.Quote:

Right now even if North Korea took out Hawaii or Seattle and the US retaliates in the end the advantages of the various scenarios are to China's benefit as I see it.
