Remembering a Pilot and Ambulance Driver

Yesterday was a day to remember.  A day to remember the men and women who put their lives at risk in the name of protecting our country and the lives of those in other countries.   In our family both Chris' grandfather John Reid and my own Everett Quinlan were military personnel during World War II.   John Reid was a pilot and Everett Quinlan a front lines ambulance driver.  Neither shared many stories with family members of the experiences they faced during their roles in the Canadian Military.  Both passed away in later years due to illness and most of their story stays with them.
Thank you Grandpa.
