Canadians remember Battle of the Atlantic

[Locutus]

The 70th anniversary of the single longest battle in Canadian military history is being marked across the country today.

Thousands of members from the Royal Canadian Navy, the Royal Canadian Air Force and the army gathered Sunday morning at Halifax's Point Pleasant Park to remember thousands of people who lost their lives during the six-year battle.

HMCS Sackville, Canada's only surviving Second World War Corvette ship, floated just offshore to lay a wreath and commit to sea veterans who have recently died. The ashes of 22 naval officers and merchant marines will be scattered at sea later today.

Be lots of world class hangovers tomorrow.

Probably not......remember, world war two vets are around eighty nine years old....too old to
pound it down like they used to.

Map doesn't show air coverage from N. America. That Mid-Atlantic gap was well fed.
