A Father's Day Tribute

[Spiel]

Well it's Father's day and being located here in Hamilton I'm privileged to view the many planes of years gone by as the Hamilton Air Show is under way and I'm reminded of how fortunate we are to live the lives we have today.

 

So I'm taking a few minutes to remember our forefathers, the sons, the husbands, the many who grew up without fathers and husbands and the young men who never had a chance to become fathers.

 

Watching Hamilton's Avro Lancaster fly overhead I'm reminded of the dedication of this plane to one such hero.

With that I wish all of our soldiers past and present both here in Canada and the U.S. and all the fathers here a very Happy Fathers Day.

Trying to sleep after nights this weekend was tough....didn't hear the snowbirds but when the lancaster, the b25, and the b29 superfortress went over my house in formation I thought the house was falling down.....
