It is with interest I note the comments directed at "volunteers", particularly the notion that we (yes, I have volunteered much of my time in semi-retirement to help out my Regiment) are examples of what serving soldiers should not become and somehow are lesser persons. I know we are not as...

Guess the polls were right for a change.

I remember watching this as a child, at Uplands. It was really something to watch.

Very sad to read this. Live long and prosper.

I raised a glass of fine whiskey to toast a fine regiment (two in fact). Happy Birthday The RCD and The RCR.

Or this is a great PR move on Sony's part. Now everybody is discussing what was was probably a pretty mundane movie. How many people will buy the DVD just to see what all the fuss was about or to show they "won't be pushed around by North Korea"?

I would think that rather than going after her for issues of detail (which were not of her doing) and criticizing any possible "career embellishment" (which I suspect many of us have done either in the bar or around the campfire), we acknowledge that fact that she SERVED at all, and celebrate...

The motto of The Royal Canadian Regiment, of which I am not a member but have profound respect, is "Never pass a fault". Hard to implement sometimes but if military life was easy we wouldn't need leaders to lead. I suspect her faults were passed often.

Interesting to read that Lucy Decoutere is now a TDO in New Brunswick (Gagetown?). I always enjoyed her in Trailer Park Boys.

My sense, having known Walt personally for many years, is if he can't sort out VAC, nobody can.

Having worked in a Regimental museum for several years I started to gain a sense of how long memories last. We would often get medal sets, pictures, shadow boxes, etc, brought in to the museum by grandchildren and great grandchildren of veterans who simply had no memories of the individual and...

Looking at the picture was hard enough, listening to this was a heart-breaker. I am so proud to be a Canadian right now.

I saw the article and pictures in the news this AM. Congratulations for organizing this. It sounds like you had a great time. Good for you! I remember watching the Tattoo in Ottawa as a young fellow, a special show just for military families. It was wonderful. Thank you so much. :salute:

Brings back lots of memories. I did my basic training in 1970 and my section instructor was an old corporal in the PPCLI (although he would tell you he was really QOR). He was as rugged and rough as you would expect of a "career corporal" of that era but could he ever instruct. I remember every...

There are areas in and around Chilliwack that are on a flood plain. Try to avoid these areas if you can. Have a look at this website for guidance. http://www.chilliwack.com/main/page.cfm?id=1912

Members of the Canadian Scottish Regimental Family will gather this evening at the Regimental Cenotaph in Pioneer Square in Victoria for a short service to commemorate the actions of the Canadian Scottish Regiment (Princess Mary's) and others who landed in France 70 years ago. Time: 1900 hours...

Cape Breton Highlanders are listed but don't see the other two.

To those who served in Afghanistan and came home, and those who didn't, my family and I thank and salute you on this Day of Honour. :salute:

Reading "The Regiment" inspired me to join the Army many years ago, and with no regrets. Farley, thank you for so many wonderful stories, and now you can stand down. :salute:
