Randall Benjamin, 4 years old, saluting the Canadian contingent at the Hoofdplaat-Knokke memorial March November 4th 2007.

Randall Benjamin is wearing a replica uniform, made by his mom, as worn by the Canadian Scottish regiment during WW2.

That's kind of cool-- I'm Canadian, live just outside of Toronto, and I'm in the Halton Regional Police Pipes and Drums. We are going to Holland in March!!! We are going along with a few of the Canadian ambassadors, for the Liberation of Holland-- it was the Highlanders of Toronto that liberated the region we're visiting.

That's awesome!!
