Re: Happy Canada Day
Harry, do people with Canadian relatives count for the Canada Day good wishes? 
Happy Canada Day to you as well.
My grandmother's brother, Pvt George Miller Briden, died at Vimy Ridge April, 1917

Re: Happy Canada Day
Thank you, Dick.
We are very inclusive people and will party with almost everybody, especially on Canada Day.
The Canadian victory at Vimy Ridge is considered a turning point for our Country.
Four Canadian divisions fought together to take the Ridge. Almost 3600 Canadians died and 7000 were wounded over four days.
The victory instilled considerable national pride as most battles prior to that were under British leadership.

Re: Happy Canada Day
Happy Canada Day. This country has done me well. Despite our flaws, I love it here.
Embarrassingly, this is the first year since I’ve had my modern Ford (1929 Model A) that I haven’t decked it out in Canada colours. Here’s a photo from last year with the flag over the rear deck.

Re: Happy Canada Day
Thank you Dick Lodge for providing a 'teachable moment', and belated Canada Day recognition to all. I found this article to be a respectful testimony to the many who served, https://www.thecanadianencyclopedia.ca/ ... vimy-ridge

Re: Happy Canada Day
On one of my parents' early trips to Europe, I met them in France and drove them to Vimy Ridge. My dad had studied the battle and had a detailed map. With the battle map and the current road map, he figured out where the charge took place where Uncle Miller was wounded, and we walked through the field. Dad was eight years old when the battle took place, and he remembered his uncle.
In 1961, as a college student, I was the first member of the family to visit his grave.
