Default or this one CDN 3....

You have a choice. The earlier Green Unit also served in Cyprus. As you can see the ol' CDN 3 is in some bad need of some rear springs. The photos were taken at the Canada day parade in North Vancouver. As always, our group makes sure that we have veterans in our vehicles. The last picture is one of my favourites. The year before, we "came across" 20,000 of those little paper Canadian Flags. Well for years after that we always handed them out along the parade route (which was forbidden by the parade organizers). We were very careful in how we handled this. We always kept a number of larger flags in the jeeps and would stop the parade to hand a couple out to the war time veterans or the elderly.
The last picture is one of my favourites. The little boy was caught up in the excitement and dashed out into the street for a flag. Not that he probably wasn't coaxed by Tom Houghton handing out the flag. Tom was a former Peace Keeper and was wounded while serving. He does however....know how to work a crowd!

Hpe all this helps.....R obert
