Glutton Pettigrig It says he could not shake his opinion around the next month to celebrate his 100th birthday. If not for your feet, Quebec says the resident of the city will still be “jumping fences.”
“I’m not older,” he said.
To make the King’s Canadian Navy uniform, Pettigigrew spent several early birthday cards that paid the headlights to the residence of the triple birthday in April 11.
However, the veteran of WWII’s Atlantic war hopes to get better desires – 100 minutes should be.
This month, a community group dedicated to military history, published a photo of Pettigrewin described by a special request: 100 cards for 100 years old.
Facebook PassionMilitarian Facebook has won hundreds of likes and reactions around the world, Jordan Proust said he is a professor and a military journalist behind the campaign.
“People from France, Africa, Canada,” he said. “Given the number of messages and answers I received, we will be better than 100 cards … I imagine at least 500.”
Prout says he even received a call from the primary school class in France, planning to send a card to Pettigrew.
The idea for the campaign, organized a campaign for Elbert Morin for the first time and organized a campaign and a resident of the Maison Paul-Triguet House and received a total of 800 veterans.
“When I met Gaston … He came to me and said,” Jordan would like the same, “he said.
First, France, Proust says he respects people who respect and help people who are released by his country in 1944. He says that there are three WWII veterans living in the same residence he often visited.
“Veterans who gave everything to the army for their countries,” he said.
“I try to do my best to give them a tribute.”
Pettigrew was only 18 years old when registered in April 1943. Soon there was a ship in a ship serving as a caravan accompaniment in the Atlantic war.
“The food was to transport plane parts or everything in England,” said Pettigrew.
There were 11 transitions between North America and Europe. Although the ship was never attacked during these missions, Pettigrew remembers the conditions of a ship carrying about 100 seafarers.
He says the smallest noise on the board can warn German submarines.
“We should never make no noise. We used to hear a pin drop, because there was so little noise,” said Pettigrew.
“I remember Mr. O’Connell, Mr. O’Connell, and I heard him. Some of them were not easy.”
He says the whole crew, on May 8, 1945, noted the announcement of the German delivery.
In the following years, after 68 marriages, he married his wife in 2017.
The secret of living It’s four times a long time: Do not smoke, do not drink, stay at home and “do not stay away from ladies.”
He hopes to fulfill a doctor’s forecast that he once said he will live 104 years old.
