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:
