In 1965 as a soldier I marched off with the Red Ensign and then returned to salute the Red Maple Leaf flag. I was stationed in England when on July 1, 1967, my wife and I went to Hyde Park to watch sa国际传媒鈥檚 fireworks, which finished with a continuous flow of fireworks resembling Niagara Falls. Our new beautiful flag was in the background. My heart soared with pride even though I was referred to by the locals as a bloody colonial.
Back home the tri-service had a Tattoo train that travelled across sa国际传媒 playing military music and the military people wore uniforms from 1867-1967.
While on United Nations peacekeeping, I travelled five countries in the Middle East and fully realized how great it is to be a Canadian.
I have a Legion commemorative red and white ribbon medal expounding 150 years of pride and service to all those who enjoy our freedom.
The attached picture of uniforms of the 1967 day says it all for me: O sa国际传媒; we stand on guard for thee.
