Eight Second World War veterans -- the youngest of them age 96 -- will join President Donald Trump at a wreath-laying ceremony Friday to commemorate the 75th anniversary of the end of the war in Europe.

White House officials described the veterans as "choosing nation over self" by joining Trump at the World War II Memorial ceremony.

The veterans joining Trump include Gregory Melikian, 97, of Phoenix, who sent the coded message to the world that the Germans had unconditionally surrendered. Other veterans joining Trump are Donald Halverson, 97, of Minnesota, who fought in some of the war's fiercest fighting in Italy, John Coates, 96, of Maryland, who fought in the Battle of the Bulge, and Jack Myers, 97, of Hagerstown, Maryland, was part of a unit that liberated the Dachau concentration camp.

Competition to replace Canada’s CF-18s extended by federal government for second timeThe extension comes after Canada put another US$70M toward development of the F-35 despite no guarantee the stealth fighter will win the competition Do you think it’s because we have no money to pay for fighters right now so might as well drag this out? To be fair - Trudeau does not need new jets. The CPC Air Force will soon be patrolling the northern skies above the 49th. Postponing is a good move. It is not clear that these are the best fit for a one-fighter air force, and for the price of a handful of these an entire drone program, the functionality of which is quickly evolving, is easily possible.
