Should It Be Our Duty to Remember?
Oh, definitely. By all means. Because I, there are parts there that, they were great but once we got on the continent, it wasn’t a holiday anymore. But I don’t regret it. It was quite an experience and I was lucky to get out of it. Alive that is.
Interviewer: If you had the opportunity of speaking to young Canadians of this or future generations about patriotism and duty, what would you say to those young Canadians?
Well I, I don’t know, I’d have to think this over. Because I’m really a military person. And I don’t, I wouldn’t, I would like to see my grandson to join the army, but not the infantry. Get in, learn a trade and, you know, there are a lot of positions in the service that you can serve your country just as well as an infantry man. But to me an infantry man’s life is too short.
