Vimy
One hundred years ago today, the four divisions of the Canadian Expeditionary Force attacked and took Vimy Ridge, in their first act as a united formation.
Only two things are infinite - the universe and human stupidity, and I'm not sure about the universe: Albert Einstein.

Re: Vimy
I wish more people were aware of these moments. I know not everyone can be an expert in everything. But so many people can't even state the most basic of facts about these key moments.
What does defeat mean to you?
Nothing it will never come. Death before defeat. I don’t bend or break. I end, if I meet a foe capable of it. Victory is in forcing the opponent to back down. I do not. There is no defeat.
