Personal Involvement In The Canadian Military: George Ralph Mckenzie

Growing up as the son of a career Naval Officer, I have experienced a background that varies greatly from that of an applicant who has grown up in a strictly civilian family. The constant relocation, the exciting places I have lived, and the countless great, unique people I have met, have all contributed that that he unique childhood I have enjoyed. While at times my identity as a military child has made life challenging and difficult, I strongly believe that it has made me a stronger, more adaptable person because I have been molded by past experiences and I don't think that my application would be complete without this information.

I went pre-med before getting deployed and as an intern I've seen a lot of horrible things. But when it's your friend... Someone you serve with... It stays with you forever.

I’m a military child. Change was instilled in me since my birth in Spain. My childhood was spent briefly in Europe, the east coast of the U.S, and eventually the Midwest. This change of scenery, schools, friends, and just about everything else in my life led me to be the person I am today. Travelling was amusing and I enjoyed change of pace every couple of years, but it wasn’t easy. I learned early on that getting attached to people wasn’t a good idea and should be avoided in preparation for the next move. This led me to being an incredibly shy child who couldn’t open up to people. The world I come from is an adventurous but problematic one. When I concluded making friends would assist with each transition I found myself too terrified to attempt

When one thinks of Canada, he/she is most likely to stereotypically comment on a subject regarding hockey, beavers, maple syrup, and cold weather. However, not many stop and wonder about how Canada became the peaceful nation it is today. Throughout Canada’s relatively short and brief history, it has managed to flourish into a strong and powerful nation. Canada’s peaceful identity has been formed with meaningful historic events that have occurred throughout our history.It’s identity has been characterized by Lester B. Pearson's role during the suez canal, their involvement in the Vietnam war, and its engagement in peacekeeping missions around the world.

As they fought for others and their country, they were not allowed equality in their own country. More than 200 Canadian Native soldiers were killed or died from wounds during World War II (Anon 2014). A significant individual, Tommy Prince, was a descendent of Peguis, the Salteaux Chief and Canada’s most decorated Aboriginal war veteran (Bonikowsky 2008). During the Second World War, he set up an observation post in a farmhouse and reported on German movements by communication. Prince did this by disguising himself as a peasant farmer around pretending to work in the land around the farmhouse. He covered up his identity by shaking his fist at both Germans and the Allies and acting disgusted around both which resulted in the destruction of four German tanks that had been firing on Allied troops. His contributions to the war efforts earned him a total of eleven awards including: the Defense Medal, the Canadian Volunteer Service Medal with Clasp, and the War Medal. Monuments have been built in his honor. They have also been erected for all Aboriginal Canadians who partook in the war and fought overseas to defend the independence and liberty of allied nations, in addition to supporting the cause at

The Canadian troops are, of course, not the only ones involved in the conflicts around which these books centre. At a very early stage in the novel, McDougall presents us with an American. The way in which this southern neighbour is introduced to the story, a paratrooper who has missed his mark, may be a subtle poke at American incompetence in general (McDougall, 4). The Americans that Harrison brings in near the end of his story are obnoxious and bound to summon their own doom (Harrison, 237). The British military is vastly lacking in McDougall’s story, though perhaps represented in the Scots company within the Canadian ranks. When the odd British soldier appears, it is generally as messenger and not as commander. Generals has swarms of Brits throughout the novel, generally in command positions. The bitterness felt by Canadian soldiers toward their British officers in the trenches of the First World War becomes clearly invoked in the where Fry

The most senior Canadian military officer ever to die in combat is Malcolm Mercer, a lawyer

Tommy C. Douglas, a politician, Baptist minister, premier of Saskatchewan and first leader of the NDP party was the greatest Canadian. His family had provided a strong background for politics. When he had moved to Canada in 1919, he witnessed the Winnipeg General Strike. From there on, he became a Baptist Minister and the Premier of Saskatchewan in 1944.

Canadians lost many soldiers. But the War did hit King close. He lost his nephew in active service. Dr. William Lyon Makenzie King, but went by Lyon. Lyon’s ship was torpedoed. The day that King lost his nephew was September 27, 1943.

Hundred days were the last hundred days of World War One. There were couple of battles and/ or events. One of the battles were fought in Ameins. Canada and its allies attacked and captured 13km of land in one day. At the end, German forces were forced to retreat. This was a was a significance to Canada because Canadians captured the most territory ,war prisoners, and equipment than America at least six more times which shows how capable Canada is without Britain. Canada also defeated 1/4 of the German army and one most of the important battles for example Arras, Cambari, and Valeniennes.

The Loyalists: Their Reasons for Fleeing the United States and their Impact on Canadian History

A country can make quite a name for itself with its military prowess, but when the white flag waves, how can it keep itself relevant? It’s a question that begs answering, and has been answered, correctly and otherwise, in countless ways. In the aftermath of WWII, it was imperative that Canada answer this question for itself. The nation had become a powerful force on the field of battle, but as the war came to its close, Canada had to find a way to keep its status. In this, the country succeeded; with peacekeeping missions around the world, issues addressed at home, and disaster aid for those who needed it, it easily kept its relevance on a global scale. Even with the end

I joined the Marine Corps looking for a challenge. I wanted to open doors for a new career and longed to have a positive impact on the world around me. Looking back five years later, I realize I found all that I originally sought, but I’ve also found something profoundly satisfying and meaningful that I never knew I was missing.
