Thanks Kate.

I wish my dad had done something like this before he passed away. Even just more names and places on the pics would have been wonderful.

He didn't talk much except about his experiences except the crazy things he and his buddies did on 'off' days.

As I get older I realize the horrors were more a part of him than any human should have to carry in his/her lifetime. Thanks Dad.

I'm grateful for ALL our soldiers and what they endure on my behalf.

My dad was a vet too and never talked about the horrors he'd experienced: he only talked about the good times. And he died (of cancer), like the soldier he was, with fortitude and dignity. Our fighting men of WW II (and I, like my grandfathers) were cut from very special cloth.

I've had a quick look at the album: the very small format makes it difficult to access. But, what a fabulous archive: maybe someone will publish it. Bravo, Mr. Goldstein! And thanks, Kate.

Thanks for the post Kate.

Our generation had it too easy.

I have my Grandfather's Kodak Brownie 620 camera that he had when he was deployed in France in WWII sitting where I see every day.
But the prize is a actual photo taken by the camera of him at his station in communication command.

I miss him.

About Kate

Why this blog?
Until this moment I have been forced to listen while media and politicians alike have told me "what Canadians think". In all that time they never once asked.

This is just the voice of an ordinary Canadian yelling back at the radio - "You don't speak for me."
