Just speculating,but I would say that most,if not all, of the people at History Channel are too young to know what the Canadian Red Ensign is or was,and what it means to a vet.
My father was buried under the Red Ensign at his request.He said" that is the flag I fought under and that is the flag I will be buried under".
At least they reconized Canada on the progam,which,sorry to say,I missed.
I would say most of the younger generation ,40 & under, do not even know of the Red Ensign.
I had put up two flags in my yard,one the Maple leaf,the other.the Red Ensign.My neighbor,a Pole.of 78 years of age, looked at them.I asked him if he new what the Red Ensign was.He replied,"Yes .The flag of Canada Before the other.The flag when I came here to this glorious land of Canada."
The Red Ensign means a lot to the older generation,but ,sad to say,it has no meaning to our younger generation.
A part of history sent to the archives.
