PHOTOS: D-Day memories shaped numerous generations
It was 70 years ago today that a group of men from Prince Albert, along with the Regina Rifles and soldiers from across the world, stormed Juno Beach.
That memory was passed on in bits and pieces to Tim Settee from his father Tom Settee, who passed in 2012.
Tom’s training started years before D-Day in Dundurn, Sask. He became a member of the Regina Rifles and trained in England for a few years before landing on Juno Beach.
Tim believes the discipline and loyalty to his country his father grew up with led him to join the army. Tom had a background in residential schools and as a boxer.
