The last surviving Second World War veteran at the Dominion Royal Canadian Legion branch 78 has celebrated his 95th birthday on May 4th.

MacNeil said he doesn’t think the soldiers who died want to be remembered as heroes, “just the fact that they did the job.” “Soldiers went to war and that was a very, very sad thing to see, and some didn’t come back,” said MacNeil, who wants people to never forget that fact.
