Twenty years ago this very moment I was the Cdn Defence Attache in Tel Aviv. My Sergeant came into the office & announced that a plane had flown into the World Trade Center. Moments later a second a/c flew into the South Tower & all our lives had changed, 'changed utterly.' #9/11

Carol Off's 'The Ghosts of Medak Pocket' offers a good part of this story - two stories actually: the story of these brave heroes, and the disturbing story of how the government attempted to suppress nearly everything that happened.

The Royal Canadian Legion@RoyalCdnLegion

September 1993, 2nd Battalion 2 PPCLI was caught in an aggressive 14-day Croatian Army offensive. In the end, the soldiers imposed their will on the Croatian & Serbian armies, created a buffer zone and enforced a ceasefire. We Remember the Battle of Medak Pocket. #CanadaRemembers

@patmdennis stood on that bridge countless times thinking the same thing. My first true concept of Dieppe was because of a painting by Gordon Wilson depicting Cecil Merritt on the bridge. The painting was featured on TV mags across the country in 1979 to advertise the new CBC doc Dieppe

It's true. Dieppe park on the Detroit River is a must see. The memorial to the Essex Scottish is identical to the one on Red Beach. The armoury there is named after Major FA Tilston, VC.

David Patterson@stemvik

@DanielH85442891 @patmdennis Windsor does a great job remembering Dieppe
