Carpiquet

There was a very nice ceremony on the weekend at Minto Armouries here in Winnipeg, at which the French government presented medals to Canadian vets, mostly Royal Winnipeg Rifles who had fought at Carpiquet and its airport against 12 SS Panzer Hitler Youth, outside Caen in July '44.

Lest We Forget.

Ah I'm sorry I had no idea this was going on. Thanks for posting this Mark. I wish I had been there for the ceremony.

This is specially for your father from me.
