My uncle RAF pilot was shot down over Holland where he lies. My dad a navy vet, attended the 70th anniversary celebrations in 2015 at 92. Such a profound experience for him. My brother is currently in Holland for the 80th with his 3 - 20 something kids. A learning experience for them.

I actually knew one of these gents. 💕 Knighted by the Dutch Queen and awarded their highest medal, he said he accepted it on behalf of his regiment.

He is part of the reason I can see past the local Sk grievances to a bigger picture.

The Canadians being honoured in the article were the real freedom convoy. Let's never forget that and let's not let extremists get away with pretending they were freeing anyone when they went to our capital waving our flag.

Yes. My dad was a flight lieutenant at the age of 19, flying a Halifax bomber. He had all the vaccines mandated, unlike the #ConvoyCowards

We should be as grateful for what they did. 🙏🇨🇦🙏
