Remembrance Day

Well, we go up to the war memorial and it’s a very touching moment, you know. I had a very good friend, Vic Starr, and uh, Vic went missing during the war in the air force. We think he went down in the Channel somewhere, you know. I think about him. I think about those paper boys and other fellas I’ve known over the years, you know, yeah. It’s a very touching day for us. Not that I don’t think about these people throughout the year, I do, but it’s all brought together at that time, all brought together, yeah. Then we go down to the war museum and we talk to people. I know a lot of the fellas say “Oh, forget about it, you know, It’s past!” You can’t, you can’t.. You get up in the morning and you think about some little incident, you go to bed at night, you think about some little incident. Just might pass through your mind but he’s always with you, it’s always with you. But then you take a 17 year old boy and you make him a man overnight. I know raising my sons, I have three sons, when they reached that teenage rebellious age, you know, 16-17, it was very foreign to me because at 17 I was suddenly a man.
