Terry Evans, Rick McSwain of Network Travel, and Jackie Rae Greening welcome Dean Thorpe from 840 CFCW Radio to discuss his recent Canadian Military Tour through France, Belgium, and the Netherlands. Before diving in, the hosts mention their upcoming November golf trip to Moon Palace in Cancun.Dean shares how the tour, guided by Canadian military historian Tom Leppard, followed Canada's footsteps through both World Wars — from Vimy Ridge to Juno Beach, Dieppe, and Ypres. A recurring theme was how little Canadians know about their own military history, with Dean and fellow travelers repeatedly asking, "How come we don't know this stuff?"Among the most moving moments was 90-year-old Lilian visiting her grandfather's First World War grave for the first time — the first family member ever to do so — placing a small flag and holding a quiet ceremony at his headstone.Key TopicsCanadian military history in EuropePersonal stories of WWII veterans and soldiersThe significance of war cemeteries and memorialsThe role of historians like Tom Leppard in educationThe emotional and prideful experience of remembranceChapters00:00 - Introduction to the Canadian Military Tour03:24 - The Journey Begins: Following Canadian Soldiers06:34 - Emotional Connections: Personal Stories from the Tour09:30 - Pride in Canadian History: Lessons Learned13:09 - The Impact of War: Stories of Sacrifice16:33 - Community and Remembrance: The Role of Cemeteries19:52 - Reflections on the Experience: A New Perspective22:40 - The Significance of Juneau Beach25:55 - Lessons from History: Learning from the Past27:03 - The Disaster at Dieppe29:30 - Reflections on Juneau Beachwww.zoneonepodcast.com www.networktravel.ca @reluctantlypodcast @TheWealthRoundUp @TheAlbertaGolfPodcast @DistilleryDiscovery #Canadianmilitarytour #WWIIhistory #Canadiansoldiers #remembrance #travelexperience #historytour #militarycemeteries #D-Day #Normandy #Canadianpride
