Michael McCafferty comments:

My 88 year old uncle Douglas Matheson, a veteran of World War II, and my aunt Billie and my mother Helen McCafferty were on this very special train trip to Ottawa to honor Canada's veterans.

My late father was 21 when he landed at D Day in 1944. I wish he could have been on that train but I am sure he was there in spirit.

Thank God we live in a nation that pays such honor and respect to our veterans.
