![]() ![]() Its important to remember as we all know, but watching the news about VE day this past week I was stunned at how many historical inaccuracies there were on the news. I guess the biggest would be " ...celibrating the end of WWII, also known as VE-day, this week..." ,right as the headline. I would bet those fighting until V-J day would have something to say on that. Sean

Hello Everyone,
Well, I still read the papers from back-home area and found this story in the Selkirk Journal ... go to the link to see the story AND a photograph of this gentleman who was there personally and has his own memories of VE Day happenings. I've watched many movies lately about the Canadians actions and part on liberating Holland ... to "read something" is one thing ... or even to see still photos ... but to see live coverage/footage and the people going through everything, is quite powerful. I say ... more and more all the time ... thank god for the actions of all the allied forces and what they stopped ... these men and women are the "giants whose shoulders we walk on" (that little phrase is not original, but it comes to mind for me often when thinking about WW2 Vets especially) The more I learn of that war ... well ... "never again" is certainly a desperately wished for thing ... Karmen Quote:
