July 1963, I was at the ceremony. The picture is improved some.

Hard to provide a clear picture with only 200kb to play with. I'll play with it some more and try to for a better picture.

Picture of Royal NFLD Regiment firing gun salute after being given the " Keys to the City ".

When I was in the Reserves many moons ago there were only two guns. My father was part of the First 400 that shipped out to England. He eventually ended up in the 166th when it was formed and sent to N Africa :warstory: According to his Soldiers Service and Army Book from his WW II days he...

In the kitchen with old army friends, telling war stories ( some true,some really true).  :warstory: Toasting those who are not with us. Thinking of my first Remembrance Day ceremony in 1956 with my Dad( WW II Gunner). Thinking of my Dad's last Remembrance Day ceremony in 1983, he passed away...

Do you remember these rally's?  Were you there when John the Beard bought the MUNCH Mammouth motorcycle. It had a NSU car engine for the motor.  The speedo had a red zone after the 250KPH mark.

Why are certain people nitpicking our former CDS? He served his time in the military and now he is on his second life. He has found employment, let the man do his job. If and when he does anything, then offer your opinions. You are condemning the man for what he might do, not for what he done.

Condolences to family and fellow gunners.

Blood puddings and fries.

Your issue with  " claw-back "  is not inherent to the military alone. Civvy's are under the same practice of  " claw-back " . Insurance companies that pay out medical disability claims require all recipients to provide a list of all taxable income. Which is  "clawed-back"  from there monthly...

As a Newfoundlander, comments like sheep and clown, are not called for.  I did not agree with Danny's ABC policy and I never let it sway my vote. Harper's actions influenced my vote. The billions in payments he promised to NL during his campain. The promise of soldiers to Goose Bay. A Federal...

I know what you are going through. It's F**king rough. The " cure is worst than the illness".  I went through the same problems as you are experiencing. The withdrawl symptoms of coming of so many drugs made me feel worst. In my case, I was on so much medication, I didn't know the war was over...

Let me see. Wife in gone to Calgary to visit youngest daughter and hopefully get a chance to see our only son in Wainwright. Oldest daughter was transferred to S. Africa. I'm single again until the 18Oct. :rofl: It's been so long, what would a single military minded person do? :-\

I wonder how many women will vie for the " TightEnd" position :P

Have to agree with FastEddy. I have a Disabled Card for my vehicles but seldom use it due to major abuse of the system. I have been into too many heated discussions with able-bodied civvys who use the Disabled parking spots. My younger self wanted to use a more physical approach to explaining...

If anyone gets the chance and finds 15A, please give her a "good job pat on the turret" for me. I spent five years with that baby. :warstory:
