\u201cGrandpa,. all our unit bought hats to hide our heads.\u201d  <\/div>\n
\u201cWhy?\u201d<\/div>\n

<\/div>\n
This story is coming next.  It makes me ashamed to be a Canadian but at<\/div>\n
the same time proud of my grandson, Jack Skeoch.   These are bad times<\/div>\n
for us all, but particularly bad for young people of principle.<\/div>\n

<\/div>\n
Today, Jack and I spent the whole day clearing the barn.  We talked a lot,<\/div>\n
Not preachy kind of talk   just grandpa to grandson.  Just an old man<\/div>\n
talking to a young Canadian soldier who had just passed basic training.<\/div>\n
I learned more about him.    He is a good <\/div>\n
person making his way in a uncaring world. <\/div>\n

<\/div>\n
The fact he bought this hat made me ashamed of some Canadians.  Proud of Jack.<\/div>\n

<\/div>\n
The story is coming.<\/div>\n

<\/div>\n
But right now there is no room in my office to type. Our house is full of people\u2026every<\/div>\n
room taken.<\/div>\n
