Hello Everybody!
Today I have a pretty average picture to share that comes with an amazing story! Today, I visited a senior's home and spoke to this veteran about his experiences in World War II! He was so talkative about his work here in Canada during the war and it was amazing to hear all the stories he had! He worked with the radar equipment on a little island off the coast of New Brunswick for an entire year! There were 49 of them on the island and it was so cold, the Ocean in between the island and the mainland froze over. He shared many interesting and exciting memories with me about snowball fights on the Fourth of July, saving the lives of 6 people in a plane by spotting them on the radar and helping them land before they ran out of fuel, and his short leaves he was able to spend with his family.
We also spoke with a veteran who had been a bomber and had bombed Paris! There were so many interesting and incredible stories shared today, I have found a renewed gratitude for the freedom we have in Canada because of brave men like the ones I met today!
