Now that the questions has been begged, the answer is none. But dead or alive they are still veterans of Canadian service, which was my point. LGS ************************************** See what's free at http://www.aol.com.

I couldn't care less how many so called veterans are still alive. Any of these are unlikely to have fought in any of the really dreadful battles where millions of young men lost their lives. These veterans should count themselves lucky. As to giving the last survivor a state funeral, I find this really sick. Again what about the millions who died fighting; they are the ones who should be honoured. Diane
