On the 11th hour, of the 11th day, of the 11th month, the First Great War ended. Nearly 250 000 Canadian casualties, 325 000 US casualties, 5.5 million French casualties (75% of those mobilized, more than 10% of the total population).
My dad fought in the second world war, in the Royal Canadian Air Force, as a navigator. He flew over 1,000 combat hours. We owe him, and all those who fought for us, the freedom we have today. Here is the Red Ensign, that was flying on Canadian ships and aircraft, at the time: Attached image(s)

My father inlaw recently passed at age 83 retired from US Navy as a Commander.
He served in WWII on the USS South Dakota Battleship (BB-57)seeing action in the Battle of Midway. He witnessed kamikaze attacks on his ship by the Japs(as he called them) and lost friends. He served under Admiral Nimitz and we have many photos of them together dressed in their full naval regalia. He was a great person and friend and I really miss him. Here's to to Rich Wenzlik!! (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/beerchug.gif) I'll always remember you and your contributions towards our freedom! |
