    WWII pilots, of all nations, were "Supermen" in terms of superior health & longevity! I'm 78 & was born just after
    the end of the War & can't believe that these men, that I remember in their twenties, have now reached the Century
    mark! We will never see the likes of them, again!

      I had a few relatives serve in WWII. So many brave young men, risking it all for country and democracy. A brave generation of heroes.

    After the war Lt. General continued to fly in Canada. Based upon his observations he promoted a plan called the Mid-Canada Corridor to develop sub-arctic Canada. It had support from businesses, but not from the government. It is a brilliant plan.

    The USS Texas is almost finished with her restoration. Perhaps some time in the future, she can sail back to where she fought alongside those who stormed the beaches? It would be a grand thing to put her on a global tour.
    To me, it seems inappropriate to not have a ceremony on her deck for any WWII ceremony, for she served in the Mexico blockage, then served the ending of WWI, then fought in every theater of war in WWII and was wounded/damaged in combat. She even flooded herself to fire further than she was designed to fire, to aid in the push inland.
    Come on news teams, Texas was there for you, now you do what's fitting and be there for her.

    Younger generations don’t respect the huge sacrifices made for their freedom. The saying Never Again was known in time to be ignored and war will repeat. The youth with all their freedoms never fought for any of it. They are allowing their freedoms to fade away and their children will fight and die to restore it, if they are successful.

    I was hoping to hear how this 100 year old Hero felt about our Canadian Chaplains not being able to evoke God
    in their prayers for our dead heroes on Remembrance Day 2023. That might be controversial.
    Thank you Soldier. My Grandpa was there on the beach too. Live long and tell the stories the National Post won't ask you about.
    Amen!

      You’re lucky these men fought for our freedom!
      Otherwise you would be speaking German and pledging allegiance to the memory of Hitler and the Nazis.
