Summer’s gone and September is here. The kids of to school and things are getting back to normal. But what is normal in this world today?  With killings and mass shootings; people driven out of their countries, and in refugee camps.

Oct 4, 2017 @ 08:03 Boy was that something those Invictus games in Toronto! And the closing speech of Prince Harry where he instilled pride and a look at the future in all those young veterans who are carrying the scars of their battles both physical and mental.

If you ask questions you sometimes get a real surprise like the man in Holland who visited the Oosterbeek War Cemetery and he wondered how 33 Canadians were buried with the thousands of British Paratroopers from the battle of Arnhem in 1944. So the answer was that the RAF was short some officers and the RCAF had a surplus; so ...

Jun 14, 2017 @ 08:21 At the Branch, we had our June meeting and now we will meet again in September.
