Tomorrow night on Son of a Critch!! Mike Sr and Pop take on the high seas of Newfoundland and Labrador. One of the greatest days on set this summer. You won’t wanna miss this episode. Tuesday. 8:30/9NT on CBC and @cbcgem
Last night Mike attended his 1st @MapleLeafs game with his pal Craig. He went bananas when Marner scored in OT. He couldn’t have been happier heading back to Ptbo …It was the last thing on his bucket list. Mike said goodbye to the world this morning in his sleep a happy man.
Huge congratulations to D-Day veteran John McOwan, 101, from Peebles, who has finally received his Legion d'Honneur medal. The former "Desert Rat" & great-grandfather of 4 was delighted to receive France's highest award @LegionScotland@SightScotVets https://t.co/FjroI8W7lN
80 years ago today, the parents of the "Sullivan brothers", five men from Waterloo, Iowa, who had served together on the USS Juneau, learned their sons had been listed as "missing in action". @WWIIMemorial
The legendary Jeffrey Long, 91, has just completed another epic fundraising challenge!
The former paratrooper walked 40 miles around his hometown of Bingley in West Yorkshire.
Over the last 15 years, he has raised more than £300,000 for Armed Forces charities. What a hero! 👏

During WWII, Charlies Starkes served as a torpedo man on the Royal Navy aircraft carrier HMS Tracker, a ship that was involved in D-Day on June 6, 1944, a day the Greenspond, Bonavista Bay native had remembered vividly.

#OTD in 1944, Norway. Mosquitos from 143, 235 and 248 Squadron attacking shipping in Nordgulen Fjord. These attacks were extremely chaotic and dangerous. #WW2#HISTORY
#OTD in 1970, the Oregon Highway Division consulted with the U.S. Navy and decided the best way to dispose of a whale carcass was to blow it up with a 1/2 ton of dynamite. The explosion caused blubber to rain down on spectators for over a 1/4 of a mile. The TV segment is classic.
Let’s remember Bill Saunders.
Bill was 101, a WWll veteran, and a longtime member of the Legion.
He passed away last week.
On Remembrance Day, let’s think of all the veterans who fought for the freedoms we all have today.
Lest we forget. @StJohnsTelegram
A fresh-faced 20-year-old Roderick Deon was a hull technician onboard HMCS Ottawa ll, one of the armada of Allied vessels headed toward the coast of France and the beaches of Normandy on D-Day, June 6, 1944. Today, Deon is 101.
Lest we forget. 🌺
