Mr. Bill Anderson who resides in Goderich is a World War II veteran and is one of 39 remaining veterans to have the honour of returning to Juno Beach on the 75th Anniversary of the D Day landings. Bill will be representing his country and his comrades as well as all of the veterans who took part in the landings.
The United Nations Education, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO) was founded in London, England - 1945 and its formation was dated on November 4, 1946.
In April of 2019, a group of 7 men made a journey to Europe will the goal of following our Canadians from Juno Beach on the Normandy coast through France, Belgium, the Netherlands and then into Germany. The group consisted of men who were interested in the history of our Canadian fallen, the military history and its significance in our lives today. We also were going to experience the emotions one would feel when you visit the cemeteries and memorials where our young men are honoured and remembered.
COMMONWEALTH WAR GRAVES CEMETERIES AND MEMORIALS
Recently, I took a group of men who are interested in the history of the First and Second World Wars to Europe for 17 days. We called ourselves "the magnificent seven". Some of the group had been overseas a number of times previously and some had never experienced the emotions of what our Canadians sacrificed and died for.
