May 8'th is VE Day
 

Today May 8'th is VE day, in 1945 the Nazis surrendered on this date and Victory in Europe was proclaimed.
Thank you to those then and now who sacrificed their lives and families for the freedom our generation continues to enjoy.

With three of our extended family in the armed forces, we are more aware than most as to what soldiers go through. We have a monument at the local Legion to honour and remember two local lads who were killed in Afghanistan, both in their 20s. Our son and son-in-law have been in Bosnia, Kosovo, Kabul and Kandahar. Dave received the Medal of Military Valour for actions in Kandahar that saved quite a few lives. They are still suffering the effects of what they went through. It gives us a better understanding of what soldiers went through in the two great wars and Korea. They never get over it mentally. More should be done to highlight these dates.
