Thankful for my dad... Graeme Douglas Langlands. Vietnam veteran. He's carried the heartache & pain from that almost fatal day for the last 50 years & he has done so with courage, strength & grace. So proud of him.

I honour my Dad, SGT Ron Smith, and his generation of WW2 veterans, who came home quietly, mostly held it all inside, and rebuilt our communities. Thanks for talking with me and for listening when I came home from my first deployment.
