This is the flag that those men we are honouring at Vimy fought and all too often died serving under. It is fitting that a place be made for it on that place. It was the flag that my Grandfather and Great Uncle who died at Vimy knew. My Father and Uncles also served and died under this flag a generation later.
True, it is not the present flag representing our Canada of today, the flag that I serve under is the Maple Leaf. So what. There is room for both, it is right and fitting that we make connection between our world and theirs. Is that not the whole idea behind this exercise? To remember and honour these men? Sorry, but I don't feel threatened by this mark of respect. I applaud it.
