Tuesday, 6 June 1944 and 25,000 Canadians

[Col Tigwell]

We are lucky for the service of such men and ladies.

There are people in this world who stand above us all, dedicated sincere people, to whom service and duty sit right at the top of their priorities.

We are so fortunate to have them in our midst, and there fortunately there always seems to be someone who stands up to take there place, when their end on this earth comes.

I can see God up there looking down on the good Padre, and thinking his job is nearly done, but I will not take him today, there maybe is someone, a child, a widow, or someone alone, who needs his counsel just one more time.

And then the ends comes, and he calls down to the motor pool, get that jeep out and serviced, the Padre is coming and we have much work for him to do.

Thank goodness for such people and their service.

May God bless you all

Col
