Edward Richard Unruh - I honour my father
today and his love for Canada, the country of his birth to parents who
emigrated from Mennonite villages in Russian owned Ukraine during the 1800's.
From within the Mennonite town of Hepburn, SK, which was predominantly pacifist
by conviction, Dad stepped forward to join the Royal Canadian Air Force when I
was a newborn. He returned home. My brothers and I were blessed to grow up with
his influence in our lives. I am proud to remember my father and his comrades
on the Remembrance Day and will forever be grateful for our freedoms that they
preserved.
