38 missions au-dessus de l\u2019Europe en tant que mitrailleur de bord.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Rebecca Field : James V. Coburn \u00e9tait mon grand-p\u00e8re. Ancien combattant de la Seconde Guerre mondiale, p\u00e8re de sept enfants, grand-p\u00e8re de vingt petits-enfants et arri\u00e8re-grand-p\u00e8re de seize arri\u00e8re-petits-enfants. Il a men\u00e9 une vie longue et bien remplie apr\u00e8s la guerre et est d\u00e9c\u00e9d\u00e9 \u00e0 l\u2019\u00e2ge de 98 ans.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Il s\u2019est enr\u00f4l\u00e9 dans l\u2019Aviation royale canadienne \u00e0 l\u2019\u00e2ge de dix-huit ans. Il a effectu\u00e9 trente-huit missions outre-mer en tant que mitrailleur central sup\u00e9rieur \u00e0 bord de bombardiers Mitchell pendant la Seconde Guerre mondiale. \u00c0 son retour au pays, il a entam\u00e9 sa carri\u00e8re et a travaill\u00e9 pendant quarante-cinq ans comme ing\u00e9nieur pour le Chemin de fer Canadien Pacifique. Il ne parlait pas beaucoup de la guerre jusqu\u2019\u00e0 ses derni\u00e8res ann\u00e9es. Encourag\u00e9 par ses enfants, il a commenc\u00e9 \u00e0 t\u00e9moigner de son service lors des c\u00e9r\u00e9monies du Jour du Souvenir dans les \u00e9coles primaires, puis dans le cadre du Projet M\u00e9moire. J\u2019ai eu la chance de pouvoir \u00e9couter ses r\u00e9cits et d\u2019apprendre directement de ses exp\u00e9riences. Je lui serai toujours reconnaissante d\u2019avoir accept\u00e9 de s\u2019ouvrir sur cette exp\u00e9rience traumatisante \u00e0 un \u00e2ge avanc\u00e9, afin que les g\u00e9n\u00e9rations futures puissent tirer des le\u00e7ons de son pass\u00e9. M\u00eame si cela n\u2019a pas d\u00fb \u00eatre facile, il a fini par comprendre qu\u2019il \u00e9tait n\u00e9cessaire de parler des trag\u00e9dies de la Seconde Guerre mondiale pour que l\u2019histoire ne se r\u00e9p\u00e8te pas. Que Dieu te b\u00e9nisse, papa \u2013 nous te serons \u00e9ternellement reconnaissants pour les sacrifices que tu as consentis pour le Canada.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
