Message is clear: Don't mess with poppy campaign
By CHERYL CORNACCHIA, The Gazette October 28, 2010
MONTREAL - Another Remembrance Day on the horizon, a few more poppy blunders mended. Every few years, local officials try to squeeze out poppy-pinning veterans from banks, stores and malls, and then, thanks to popular demand, the veterans are welcomed back. Isn’t there a better way?
Officials at two Montreal malls and a national grocery store chain backtracked Wednesday after telling veterans they would not be allowed to give out poppies as they have in the past.
Representatives for the Dorval Gardens shopping centre, Alexis Nihon Plaza downtown and a Loblaws store in St. Laurent, all scurried to offer public apologies and to reiterate their support of Canadian veterans before the annual poppy campaign kicks off Thursday. The turnarounds were welcome but still left many veterans wondering: “When will they ever learn,” to quote from the popular Pete Seeger song from the 1960s, Where Have All the Flowers Gone?
“They were polite, they were nice and they said they would never do it again,” said George Magna, coordinator of the poppy campaign run by the Dorval Legion, Branch 245.
Earlier this week, representatives of the Dorval Gardens had said veterans would only be allowed to give out poppies for three days this year instead of the full two weeks of the poppy campaign, as had been the case in past years.

Drive to collect veterans' memories gains momentum
By Dave Brown, The Ottawa Citizen November 1, 2010
Veterans at Remembrance Day services this year, wearing medals that say, "I was there," will be an average age of 88. Between 400 and 500 die each week.
The drive to collect their memories before it's too late has reached the point that it can now be described as having momentum.
Two excellent collections landed on this desk last week, featuring dozens of veterans, and focused on what has haunted them since their war experience.
The Historica-Dominion Institute, dedicated to combining history and national pride, selected 50 veterans to fill the pages of a slick hardcover titled We Were Freedom. (Key Porter. The sticker price is $35, but it's available online and at Chapters for $21.95)
The title is from the memory that haunts Malcolm Andrade of Burlington, Ont. As he flew his Spitfire at ground level over Holland, offering ground support to the advancing Allies, kids on bikes would wave furiously, sometimes falling in the effort. He waved back, and he understood. "To them, we were freedom."
While attacking a German convoy, he focused on a fleeing dispatch rider and was close enough to register the details of what happened to the man when the pilot gave him a burst.
Later, circumstances led him to an on-the-ground inspection of the chewed up convoy of vehicles and men. The scenes still haunt him.
Lou Howard of Ottawa is haunted by what he considers one person's carelessness. On April 16, 1945, a German submarine sank the minesweeper HMCS Esquimalt off the entrance to Halifax harbour.
Howard was an officer on the sister ship, HMCS Sarnia, which reported the ship missing when it wasn't at a rendezvous point. Sarnia asked for search planes, but didn't get an answer for several hours.
When an aircraft eventually led the Sarnia to survivors in the near freezing water, 27 were still alive.
Says Howard: "Forty-four young men died that day, because somebody was not at his job in Halifax."
Betty Dimock of Winnipeg was a nurse in North Africa when a severely wounded young soldier, untreated and three weeks in transit, arrived at her ill-equipped dressing station. He resisted her efforts to remove the bandage from his shoulder, asking her to find a male for the job. She was pretty and both were young. He was trying to spare her. She did her job. The crater-like wound was filled with pus and maggots. "It was bad," she remembers. She used a soup ladle.
One of Canada's largest chains of retirement homes is behind a similar offering. This one, titled simply Honour, will be launched Wednesday at noon at the Canadian War Museum. It profiles 35 veterans, all residents in Chartwell homes.
John Angus McDonald was one of four brothers in a Lancaster Township family who joined at the same time. One joined the air force, and John and the other two joined the Stormont, Dundas and Glengarry Highlanders. As the four gathered for a farewell party, the youngest, Francis, told his brothers, "All of us are not coming back."
During the battle for Caen in Normandy, Francis was wounded. In a long and fierce period of fighting, they couldn't get him out. He died of wounds that weren't considered fatal if treated within a reasonable time.
Gerald Fry was born and raised in Germany and never thought of himself as a Jew. His family, over generations, had been assimilated into the national mosaic. He was nonetheless sent to a concentration camp.
He was one of 90 Jewish children sponsored by three-time British prime minister Stanley Baldwin (1867-1947) to be taken into England in 1939. He was 15, and says today: "To this day, I have no idea why I was spared."
As soon as he was old enough, he joined the British army, and was in action for D-Day. At war's end, his language skills had him seconded to intelligence duties and he served as an interpreter at the Nuremberg trials. Postwar searching revealed his family disappeared into the hell of Auschwitz. Anguish remains. "I don't think forgiveness will come in my lifetime."
Honour is published by Chartwell and available in all of their residences for $10, or at www.chartwellreit.ca.

Memorial crosses honour fallen soldiers
Last Updated: Monday, November 1, 2010
The number of crosses erected alongside Calgary's Memorial Drive over the weekend more than doubles last year's display.
In 2009, the first year of the project, the Calgary Poppy Fund put up about 670 crosses, each inscribed with the name, rank and date of death of service person.
But at a flag-raising ceremony on Monday morning, Calgary's war dead were commemorated in a field of nearly 1,500 wooden crosses.
"The World War I and World War II veterans killed in action are buried overseas in foreign countries. They didn't come home," said Calgary Poppy Fund chairman George Bittman, whose group organized the memorial project. "So this is sort of symbolic of them coming home, finally."
Klaus Rimke, one of the Canadian veterans who has helped put it all together, said the crosses and daily flag ceremonies will help people remember the sacrifices made by those locals who served in Canada's wars and fell in battle.
Rimke said the search is still on for Calgarians killed in the line of duty, and that it's believed more than 3,000 local men and women have died in while serving in the Canadian military around the world.

Remembrance Sunday: a history of the poppy
The significance of poppies to Remembrance Sunday is largely the result of Canadian physician and Lieutenant Colonel John McCrae’s poem ‘In Flanders Fields’, believed to have been written on 3 May 1915.
By Jamie Sutherland
Published: 7:00AM GMT 04 Nov 2010
The first two lines of the poem – ‘In Flanders fields the poppies blow / Between the crosses, row on row’ – records the growing of the poppies across some of the bloodiest battlefields of World War I.
An overseas American YWCA worker, Moina Michael, later published a poem herself in response to McCrae’s, and started selling silk poppies to raise funds for disabled veterans in Georgia.
Following her efforts, the American Legion Auxiliary adopted the poppy as symbol of remembrance in 1921.
A Frenchwoman, Anna Guerin, was then inspired to produce artificial poppies similar to the ones worn today.
She came to London and presented them to Field Marshall Douglas Haig, president of the Royal British Legion, whose decision to back the project led to their popularity today.
He was joined in this decision by veterans’ organisations in Australia, New Zealand and Canada.
The selling of poppies is a major source of income for the Royal British Legion, although they have no particular price.
Over the course of year leading up to Remembrance Sunday, a team of fifty people produce the poppies in a factory in Richmond, most of them disabled and connected to the Armed Forces.

Poppy time: wearing my heart on my lapel

I got my first poppy earlier this week – I usually lose at least one and replace it during what has now morphed from Remembrance Day into Remembrance Season. Is it just my imagination or are we donning poppies earlier and wearing them longer?
The vet who gave it to me, sitting on a scooter, reminded me to wear it on my left lapel, over my heart, and to bend the end of the pin up so that I wouldn’t lose it. Another woman got one at the same time, and then explained to me, as we walked away, “My mother was a war bride.” <a href=http://www.theglobeandmail.com/life/judith-timson/poppy-time-wearing-my-heart-on-my-lapel/article1785988/>continued</a>

WWII Memorial Video

Estimates of 55,000 to 60,000 aircrew never saw the end of WWII. This staggering figure represents one of the reasons we live in freedom today.
At this time of remembrance please watch and share this video in memory of the aircrews who flew the Lancaster bombers during WWII.

Last year we had the privilege of touring one of Canada's last remaining Lancasters and were in awe. The fact that dad was a navigator on one of these crews made it all the more special.

My grandfather also Navigated the Lancaster's and Halifax's of that war.
I have been lucky to still know him and see him.

Should the next Alberta election be between a PC party led by Morton, and a Wildrose Alliance party led by Smith. No matter the winner Alberta Separatism will rear its head with more force than seen in the 80's before the winner calls a third election.
