THE SPIRIT OF CANADA:
On the morning of March 3rd, 2014 Royal Canadian Navy Veteran Larry Costello of Windsor, Ontario was in line to pay for his groceries.
As usual the Second World War Veteran had his walking cane with him, which he received from the Windsor Wood Carving Museum.
While waiting to pay, a younger gentleman noticed the Canadian Beaver on the top of Larry’s cane and started to ask him about the pictures of the War medals that were depicted on the cane’s staff.
After listening to Larry explain what each medal meant and his military service, the gentleman then proceeded to pay for Larry’s entire grocery bill and thanked him for his service.
This greatly touched Larry and made him feel extremely good to know that future generations appreciate what our Veterans did.
That mystery gentleman deserves great thanks himself and should know that he touched all of our hearts.
