Bulletin Board Forum - Welcome Veterans and Guests!/General Discussion Board Well, the Northern Stars ride to the Narrows and pig roast was a huge success.  The Northern Stars wish to thank all the members of the CVVA and their better halves for attending the pig roast and taking part in the festivities.  A great time was had by all, everyone mingled together and new friends were made.  There were over 55 people for the evening and 29 motorcycles from across Manitoba.  The shooters were flowing freely as the evening went on.  The Northern Stars hope that the CVVA will join us for more festivities in the future.<br /><br />Don <img src="http://www.cvva.ca/yabbfiles/Templates/Forum/default/smiley.gif" border="0" alt="Smiley" /><br /><br />Pics coming. http://www.cvva.ca/cgi-bin/yabb2/YaBB.pl?num=1274898691/1#1 C.V.V.A.

Bulletin Board Forum - Welcome Veterans and Guests!/General Discussion Board Don, I've never heard of the Canadian Atomic Veterans Association, but no wonder you almost fell off your chair. Next time I see your Dad (Archie) I would like to here his side of this accident. http://www.cvva.ca/cgi-bin/yabb2/YaBB.pl?num=1260816518/1#1 C.V.V.A. Bulletin Board Forum - Welcome Veterans and Guests!/General Discussion Board Great post Don! I believe the Navy Seals in question were eventually all found not guilty! http://www.cvva.ca/cgi-bin/yabb2/YaBB.pl?num=1267026894/1#1 C.V.V.A. Bulletin Board Forum - Welcome Veterans and Guests!/General Discussion Board Yes Don, it's quite a moving photo taken by Michael Yon.  <img src="http://www.cvva.ca/yabbfiles/Templates/Forum/default/cry.gif" border="0" alt="Cry" />  I sure would like to know if that Canadian soldier recovered from his wounds.
