Remembrance Day always makes me remember my father, Robert Rowan, who served in the Royal Canadian Navy, based out of Esquimalt, BC. He came back home in 1947 after serving 7 years. He did not have a physical injury but I came to realize over time the toll those years took on his future life. He mainly served in the Atlantic on a corvette escorting other ships back and forth across the Atlantic. He was then moved to the Pacific Theatre after peace in Europe in May 1945 until discharged in 1947. Thank you Dad, I love you.
