Relatives

[Canyarion]

My grandpa hided from the Germans, if he didn't he would have had to work in a factory to make weapons for the Germans. Now that's a form of heroism isn't it?

My grandfather was a pilot for the RCAF in WWII. That's all I know of.

My paternal great-grandfather, great-grandmother, great-uncle, and others were killed in concentration camps(mainly Treblinka) during WWII, so I don't know any family history before then.
My maternal grandfather was in the army-airforce in WWII, he was a navagator and a pilot, but ended up doing the radiobroadcasts on the base (in china).

My grandfather fought on foot and on sea. My great-uncle fought in Dieppe. Both are still alive and well to this day.

My grandfather fought in France in WWII for the Americans. He actually got lost during a battle and from what I hear (fam doesn't talk about it much) ended up in a red light district. Eventually found his troop and got home fine. He was alive and well up until 1 1/2 years ago.

My dad is currently fighting in Iraq... to read an article go to http://www.riley.army.mil/newspaper/news/news1.htm

Well, my friend's grandfather helped free The Netherlands with Canada from Nazi grasp... heh.
