I Lived the Dream
Heroes Remember
What else can you say, I mean you do your thing. I lived the
dream. Seventeen years old carrying a fully automatic
machine gun. I mean....what young fellow out there doesn’t
want to do that of course. I think serving the country
is probably the greatest thing you can possibly do.
If nothing else I’ve ever accomplished in my life,
I’ve always got that on my resume. I think the Canadian
Forces, there’s nothing wrong with a little discipline,
there’s nothing wrong with the skills that you develop,
your leadership skills, your ability to speak, your ability to,
if nothing else it helps you stand up straight.
I mean, to me there’s no greater honour than serving your country
working for your country. And today’s kids, I mean we’ve
got the internet now, we’ve got tv, you got a 100 channels
on tv now. They know what’s going on. It’s not like they’re
going into this blind as they used to be. Afghanistan now,
you see it at least a couple a times a day on tv, or what have
you. The newspapers are covering it. I think today’s kids,
I think they should look at it and say, you know what,
it’s not a bad thing. It’s a great honour to serve,
the skill sets you learn, absolutely,
you’ll never get them anywhere else.
