An update to the story I published on June 7th.
I wrote about the need to recognize our aging veterans a couple of weeks ago, and one of those veterans was a Navy man called Sam whom I had the distinct pleasure of meeting. He served in Korea, and I was eager to get to know a little bit about him and hear a story or two, but it just wasn’t the time at that moment.
Last night I was reading Skyline, the bi-monthly magazine published by volunteers from Royal Canadian Legion Branch #285 (Centennial), my home branch. On page 9 I saw a picture of Sam accompanying a splendidly written story by my comrade Jane Steckley, part of the RCL#285 Veterans’ Legacy Project. Click the link below to read the story of Korean War veteran and my Legion comrade William T McIvor, better known as Sam.
