WWII Stories

I know I have already done a blog on Remembrance Day, but I have to do one on one of the prompts, so here it goes.

I read a recount of some things that happened in the World War II by a man named Charles Kewen. He had flown many aircrafts in the war. He talked a lot about the planes he had flown, and although they were confusing and sort of hard to understand, his recount was quite interesting. He lived and was trained for flying planes in Saskatchewan, and his younger brother was also in the war. Unfortunately, his brother was killed.
As I was reading his story, I felt very bad for the soldiers that fought for Canada’s freedom. They had to go through tough situations, one after another, and they’re life was always in danger when they fought. For example, as I mentioned before, Charles Kewen’s brother was killed, but instead of being able to just grieve about his death, he had to continue fighting for our country. Another time, his leaders told him and a few other men to board a plane to fight without telling them where they were going. He was constantly moved from place to place without seeing his friends and family for a long periods of time.
I could not imagine myself in Charles Kewen’s shoes. Such tragic events happening continuously have never happened in my life. When my hair sticks up in really weird positions, I get a huge zit on my face, and I get a bad mark on a test, I feel like my life is over. However, I now realize that the worst things that happen in my life are NOTHING compared to what the soldiers have gone through. I think those men that have fought in the battle and the women that helped the soldiers were very brave and I am thankful that they fought for Canada and our freedom.
