Thanks to the veterans, war is not something I will likely know or have to experience in my life. I will not have to send my son off at the tender age of 18, I will not have to deal with the Post Traumatic Stress Disorder that comes with the service and sacrifice that these brave men often face.
Nonetheless, I am grateful. Today I will remember especially a man I never knew: my great Uncle Mike. He was my mom's uncle.
Lest we forget
My information comes for the Saskatchewan Virtual War Memorial
In memory of
Flight Sergeant
Michael Patrick Kimber
who died on 25 Jun 1943

ReplyDeletethanks for sharing deena!
ReplyDeleteMichael Patrick Kimber was my grandfather. He died long before I was born, when my mother (his daughter) was in Grade 6. I am doing an ancestry search and your site came up - wow, guess we're related!
