Cash is all good and trips for loved ones to visit their loved ones gravesite....but I am certain that the ordinary vet would be pleased that after all this time they have at least garnered the recognition and respect they rightly deserved. It took long enough.<br />But I will add that our Metis leaders can&#39;t take the fall for all that is wrong. The Liberals and the Conservatives could have simply done the right thing years ago as well.Derrylhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05573738132014916056noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20042138.post-54093264557224400062009-06-08T08:38:01.158-05:002009-06-08T08:38:01.158-05:00Family members still living would heal IF they had a chance to visit the gravesite of a loved one buried overseas. Maybe the next leader will step up soonAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20042138.post-16384190740016294922009-06-07T01:24:48.363-05:002009-06-07T01:24:48.363-05:00I hope David took other veterans that have never had chances to return to their theaters of war instead of the usual that seem to get to go on all these trips. My father has turned down a few invites the last few years stating that it wasn&#39;t right to be one of the chosen few all the time and that there are others who deserve these oportunities to heal themselves. The monument itself is long overdue for these veterans, now if they can do something about the compesation before more die off, that would be great also.Frank Godonhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02705016103209292862noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20042138.post-47826766752588668462009-06-06T21:13:18.422-05:002009-06-06T21:13:18.422-05:00I believe that Dave took a couple of vets. He also was very happy, even giddy, at the prospect of meeting Barack.<br />Great thing this monument.Derrylhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05573738132014916056noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20042138.post-14247142195041833042009-06-06T16:14:57.309-05:002009-06-06T16:14:57.309-05:00Did David take any Veterans with him or just his usual people?<br /><br />This is a great event for Metis Veterans especially my father who fought on those beaches check out (http://dustmybroom.com/index.php?option=com_content&amp;view=article&amp;id=11799:d-day-a-thank-you-to-my-father&amp;catid=55:history)Frank Godonhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02705016103209292862noreply@blogger.com
