Mon p\u00e8re s’appelait Lyn (Lynwood) H. Buffam et \u00e9tait soldat dans le Perth Regiment pendant la Seconde Guerre mondiale.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Mon p\u00e8re, comme beaucoup d’autres pendant la Seconde Guerre mondiale, \u00e9tait mineur lorsqu’il s’est engag\u00e9 dans l’arm\u00e9e. Il n’avait que 17 ans lorsqu’il s’est engag\u00e9, mais il se sentait tellement oblig\u00e9 de se battre pour notre pays qu’il a dit qu’il avait 18 ans. Ce n’est qu’\u00e0 son arriv\u00e9e en Angleterre que l’on a d\u00e9couvert qu’il \u00e9tait mineur. Mon p\u00e8re a d\u00fb \u00eatre terrifi\u00e9 \u00e0 l’id\u00e9e d’embarquer pour l’Angleterre, car il ne savait pas nager et avait peur de l’eau. Cependant, l’appel du devoir \u00e9tait si fort qu’il ne s’est pas laiss\u00e9 arr\u00eater. Lorsqu’on a d\u00e9couvert que mon p\u00e8re n’avait pas l’\u00e2ge requis, on lui a donn\u00e9 le choix de rentrer au Canada ou de rester en Angleterre jusqu’\u00e0 ce qu’il ait 18 ans. Il a estim\u00e9 que le retour au Canada n’\u00e9tait pas l’option qu’il voulait choisir, et il est donc rest\u00e9 en Angleterre avec le r\u00e9giment dans lequel il s’\u00e9tait enr\u00f4l\u00e9. Son r\u00e9giment a ensuite particip\u00e9 \u00e0 la campagne d’Italie.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Mon p\u00e8re parlait rarement de son temps dans l’arm\u00e9e, \u00e0 l’exception de quelques incidents plus dr\u00f4les qui s’\u00e9taient produits. Malheureusement, mon p\u00e8re est d\u00e9c\u00e9d\u00e9 en 1992. Malheureusement, je n’ai jamais pleinement appr\u00e9ci\u00e9 le sacrifice qu’il avait fait, ni tout ce qu’il avait d\u00fb endurer. Je suis triste de penser que je n’ai plus l’occasion de lui parler de ce qu’il a endur\u00e9.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

La premi\u00e8re ann\u00e9e o\u00f9 j’ai particip\u00e9 \u00e0 la Course de l’Arm\u00e9e du Canada et o\u00f9 l’all\u00e9e du Souvenir faisait partie de l’\u00e9v\u00e9nement, c’est l’ann\u00e9e o\u00f9 j’ai relev\u00e9 le d\u00e9fi de Vimy. J’ai \u00e9t\u00e9 tr\u00e8s \u00e9mue de voir toutes les photos des soldats qui jalonnaient le parcours le long de la promenade du Colonel Bye. C’\u00e9tait tr\u00e8s \u00e9mouvant, mais aussi tr\u00e8s inspirant de voir les photos de ces soldats. Depuis, j’ai particip\u00e9 chaque ann\u00e9e au d\u00e9fi 10 km + 5 km. Cette ann\u00e9e, je participe au semi-marathon et, une fois de plus, je ferai la course en m\u00e9moire de mon p\u00e8re. Il n’y a pas assez de mots pour exprimer \u00e0 quel point ce serait un honneur et un privil\u00e8ge non seulement de courir cette course pour remercier mon p\u00e8re du sacrifice qu’il a fait \u00e0 un si jeune \u00e2ge, mais aussi de pouvoir voir la photo de mon p\u00e8re dans le cadre de l’All\u00e9e du souvenir.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
