There are always things you will remember forever at each repatriation ceremony. On this day, I will forever remember Sgt. Prescott Shipway's four-year-old daughter and six-year-old son cries while dignitaries, and fellow soldiers paid tribute. I'll remember his four-year-old daughter showing the Governor General the flower she had prior to placing it on top of his casket. I'll remember Sgt. Shipway's wife kneeling to his daughter and pointing the flag draped casket being carried by soldiers to a hearse on the tarmac. I'll remember Sgt. Shipway's wife holding onto the four-year-old daughter tightly as the young child cried and looked back at the hearse as she held a teddy bear. So many tragic memories of Canadian heroes. |
