Our Adventures @ The Canadian War Museum
by Sebastien

        

Hi, it's me Sebastien.  I just got back from a new adventure that I wanted to tell you all about.  Mommy and Daddy took Sacha and me to the Army Man "nuseum".  Daddy says it's really called the Canadian War Museum.  It's a brand new "nuseum" that only opened a week ago.  There was lots of neat things to see...

- a Sebby salute - 


- wow look in here -


- a ship for my tub -


- Sacha can be the ship's captain - 


- Mommy & Me -


- I'm hiding in the trenches -


- a big army tank-


-Sacha enjoying the museum- 


- ready to fire - 


- going for a ride in the army truck - 


Learning about the cold war - what's that noise?
(don't look up) 


- hmmm, how does this work? - 


Here's some of the other neat stuff we saw..
  

  

  

 Although the "nuseum" was lots of fun, there was a serious side too...

The displays also helped me understand why war is bad.  I was sad to learn that the bad soldiers in WWII and their leader, this bad man called Hitler, hurt lots of people.  Daddy explained to me that they tried not only to kill all the Jewish peoples, but also people who were different (like my brother Sacha).  It seems they felt the people like my brother Sacha had no value because he is disabled.  That made us very sad, because we know our Sacha has value, despite the things he can't do.

Thankfully, we have many brave Canadian army mans who protected us and fought to stop this bad man.  Unfortunately, many of our soldiers died doing so...


There are many gravestones like this in Europe 
for all the Canadian army mans that died.


Here's a small version of our national war memorial.  The real one is near the parliament buildings, here in Ottawa.  It's where we go every November 11th to remember the brave army mans that fought to protect us.


This is a photo of the Regeneration Hall, 
It is supposed to inspire hope 
for a more peaceful future. 


As you can see we enjoyed our trip to the "army man nuseum", and also learned a few things too.  I'll be sure to write again soon, because Mommy & Daddy have lots planned now that the nice weather has arrived.
