Anyone that knows me knows that I have a passion for all things history.But most importantly military history as military history has defined what and who we are. So many good men and women payed the ultimate sacrifice to give us the freedom and privilage that we take for granted on a daily basis. I guess to me my passion for military history is sort of a tribute and thanks to all those that died giving us these freedoms and priviliges. If I can bring to life forgotten memories perhaps more of today's young generation will understand just how important a topic this truly is. I mean...how many people out there knew that there was once a spy from the German Navy on a hilltop in the Goulds during WW2. How many people knew that there was a German u-boat spotted just outside St.John's Harbour, or how many people knew that there was a German torpedo fired at Bell Island, not fired at the ships tied to the docks and missed but intentionally fired at the island itself. There is alot of military history to be learned.All of which has shaped the lives that we come to know today. Any parent that reads this should take the time to talk to there kids about it, even encourage them to dig into it on their own. What they will discover will amaze them. Here are a few visual reminders of such days gone by.
