Tough SOB in the 1st Canadian Parachute Battalion.

1st Canadian Parachute Battalion was among the toughest. Little known fact, they raced ahead of the Allied lines to prevent the Soviets from reaching Denmark. If it wasn't for your grandfather, my Dad's home wouldn't have been free for most of the 20th century. My grandparents could never have emigrated here in 1952. I would never have existed.

Writing that teared me up.
