The Holocaust Memorial across from the Museum is looking like completion isn't that far off.<br /><br />@Beth: thank you!<br /><br />@Red: I've spent a great deal of time in here. This visit was more of a run through, but when you're local, you already know it so well. At the ghosts painting, I chatted with someone who'd grown up in Ottawa, but was now living in Ohio. She said she'd wanted to come up for this particular Canada Day.<br /><br />@Grace: it is a spectacular memorial. I would love to see it for myself some day.<br /><br />@Carolann: good for him.William Kendallhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00331324250821836822noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2437925806350573745.post-80551190610307989162017-07-15T10:19:11.724-04:002017-07-15T10:19:11.724-04:00My young Grandson has joined the Military.

He is so polite and walks so straight and quick. Polishes his own boots . And he is a Vegetarian eating now. Wow!<br />Exercises for him to do push ups that is nothing. He climbs over walls and carries dead weight dummies .Drives a Tank. The list goes on. I said to him. You could die. He said then I have done it for my Country.
