A Legion service for her
Heroes Remember
I love the Legion. And she was . . . at that time I went in for
president and she was in the ladies' auxiliary. They needed a
president, that says to her "Are you willing to go as first
vice?" She says "No." She says "If I'm going in, I’m going in as
president. He is in, and I am in." So we both went the same time
as president. And that worked out good. You have no family life
once you're in president. Family life, forget about it. You have
meetings to go to, and this go and that go, and I enjoyed every
minute of it. Comradeship, after I was alone, left . . . they did
a lot for me. Yeah, they did a lot. Yeah, there was, I had the
pallbearers from the legion. The legion service for her. So
that's, that's beautiful. Couldn't do without it. So . . . I'm
proud . . . I don't knock Holland down either, that's still where
I was born, but I lived 19 years in Holland and was three years
overseas and then I went here. So I lived more in this country
than I did in Holland. Nobody realize that. I don't mind going
home you know, as soon as you get by Labrador you know, I'm home
again. If I see Newfoundland, I'm home again. Kind of
stupid . . . I'm home again.
