Mr. Starkey invited us to come to the display case, by the front office, for a presentation on Vimy Ridge. He had collages of pictures and artifacts to talk about and show us. Some of the artifacts were up to 100 years old. We all agreed that it was very interesting to learn about the events that took place and how significant it is to our country. Many soldiers lost their lives in order for us to have freedom today and that is something we should never forget. We are proud of Mr. Starkey, who started serving in the military when he was 17 years old. He had to get his parents permission to join. Mr. Starkey is a wealth of knowledge when it comes to wars and missions that the Canadian army participates in. Thank you to Mr. Starkey for taking the time to talk to us and thank you for your service to keep us free.
