Default Juno Beach Dedication

Taped & watched the museum dedication last night.I don't know about you guys out there,but I for one was a little befuddled when they unveiled the sculpture.Don't get me wrong,it's a nice piece of art,but I was expecting ,in my mind's eye,something along the lines of a charging Canadian soldier,with his bayonetted .303,with one leg up & a determined look on his face,as he meets with the enemy,something along the lines of the WW2 poster titled "Let's go Canada"
As to the brick idea which is in practice at the Trenton museum in the way of a brick path around the outdoor aircraft display,it is a good idea.My late neighbor,Stan Mathews(a WW2 Halifax navigator),& his wife Betty have one inscribed in the path.Anything to support our vets is worthwhile.
