Tuesday, 6 June 1944 and 25,000 Canadians

[Geoff Winnington-Ball (RIP)]

The last line in the movie IKE, starring Tom Selleck (probably the best performance of his career), states "We may never see their like again".

This may well be true, although this current generation of young men and women may prove this wrong. Regardless, I salute them all. I look at the old fellows now on parade every November, and stooped though they might be now, I see the young men of my father's generation. Truly, 'we may never see their like again'.

I hope we do, though. What most do not understand is that our civilization cannot survive without them.
