Remembrance Day 2020

 

This picture is my dad in his Navy uniform.  He was in the Royal Canadian Navy during WWII.  

This is Ronald Wood.  He was 20 years old when he was killed in action in the Netherlands.  He was my dad's first cousin and lived in England.  He was my cousin Jean's uncle.  She wasn't sure exactly what happened, but thanks to Ancestry, I found all this information a picture of his grave.  It's important these stories are never forgotten.

This picture was taken a few years ago outside Save On Foods at the Semiahmoo Mall.  Unfortunately this year they weren't allowed to sell poppies but they are available online and I did see some veterans selling them at the mall.
