On my way to Arnhem for the annual commemoration of Operation Market Garden (1944). It’s going to be another beautiful event; the most impressive commemoration I know. Thank you liberators!

Not enough Canadians are talking about this. The Canadian women are on an incredible run. They’ve outscored opponents 227-50 in the tournament. They just defeated the defending world champions. And they’ll play in the final next Saturday.

Elizebeth Friedman, widely regarded as America’s first female cryptanalyst, made a crucial discovery during WW2: In 1942, she deciphered Axis communications targeting the Queen Mary, the Allies’ largest supply ship. Her work saved the lives of 8,000 men on board.

This is #WomensHistoryMonth. Canadian women have long answered the call to service, even before they were allowed full participation in the #CAF. To those who paved the way for inclusion, and the resilient women following in their footsteps, thank you.

Have you heard of The Military Intelligence Museum? They'll be moving to the London Tunnels! Originally built as part of the UK government’s strategy to protect its citizens from the Blitz bombings, the mile-long series of tunnels have been kept secret for nearly 70 years!
