TSC - Special Challenge Light and Sound : Pictures and Music Annie Herring: Old Soldier www.youtube.com/watch?v=_f4n0p1uVxM ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- In Canada we call November 11 Remembrance Day. My father served in the Royal Canadian Air Force at training bases in Canada. My mother became engaged to a British bomber crew member Jack Brickman from London. He trained at a bomber training facility in North Battleford Saskatchewan, Canada. He planned to come back and marry my mother after the war. His bomber was lost over Europe in March of 1945. We did not know about him until my mother died and we went through the items she left behind. I asked her once if she ever knew anyone who did not come back. She had that far away look in her eye and said yes, there were some she met that did not come back. Little did I know how deep that memory went. I have remembered him every November 11 since. I had an uncle who served in the army in the Italian campaign and returned.
