R.I.P Cpl Dube. I celebrated New Years eve while on vacation with an engineer from QC, the picture of Martin Dube sure looks  lot like the soldier I shared a few moments talking about home.  Sorry to hear about the loss of another Canadian Soldier.

If they are approved and are available, that would be great. If they are not approved, I will not have it reproduced in keeping with the Legion's use of the Poppy image. I think you will find that they were made with "best intentions" and not for financial gain of any sort, and probably in very...

Good question re use of the Poppy image. I think there was only a small number of these made, I am certain they were not produced for any financial gain. As I remember the conversation with the gentleman, he had maybe a dozen or so produced at his own cost, I just happened to be standing right...

I don't know if I have this posted in the right section, but I am looking for a few more decals like this: I got this decal off of a Firefighter who was participating in the Red Fridays Repatriation Memorial drive. I put it on the back of my truck and have been asked a few times where I got...

Change in plans. My better half wanted to get the deck stained, it's done, pool is clean & checked, only 72 Deg F though, brrr. Might take my better half out for a ride around the bay "topless", (conv that is), and the traditional Canadian beer fridge is always full, of course.  8)

I had intended to be at Trenton this afternoon, but last night's thunderstorms (power dips) kept me swamped at work with electrical issues & repairs. If the weather holds, I'll be drag racing tomorrow.

The last mention of this by me is of a purely personal nature. This foundation has a vehicle donated by a car dealership that has the names of our war dead plastered across the side of it like a rolling tombstone. My surname is carved into the side of the Vimy Memorial. Were that name to appear...

"It's a good opportunity for me to come out here and show my support for my fellow soldiers, fallen or not," said Cpl. Victor Hriech, who is based in Trenton, noting he trained with several of the deceased soldiers and considers them his "very, very good friends." That's my buddy Vic.

More pics.

Thanks.

My buddy & I just got back to Belleville a little while ago. We are in the last picture posted, he is wearing his uniform. It was a good day, I participated for my own reasons and am glad I did.  :cdn: Amazing the weather held out all the way there & back. I have lots of pictures, I'll have to...

I'd be more than happy to do that. Reminds me to go out & get fresh batteries for the camera, nothing worse than that. My buddy got permission from his CO to wear the uniform he will wear on his posting, he was happy about that. I don't know the difference, I'll find out tomorrow. I was also...

Thanks. I'm glad I signed on here. I really didn't know what to think when I read the SUN the other day. But, I am participating for the reasons I stated & my friend is very happy that we are doing this. The last thing I'd want to do is upset a family member of friend of our military by showing...

I will do what I said I would, and I really want to show support & spend a bit more time with my buddy, before he gets deployed. It's just kind of an unsettled feeling to think you are doing something to show support & say thankyou, and then this gets in the way. I have nothing to do with any of...

Hi, I'm one of the 83 private citizens that has donated the use of a red car & my time & fuel to participate in this event. I thought I was doing this to honour our troops & families. I also have my friend (Reservist) with me who will be deployed mid July. Now I don't know what to think of all...
