He spent 9 years as a member of the Marine Corps, running the K9 unit with the First Reconnaissance Battalion. He came under heavy fire in the Bloody Second Battle of Fallujah. He attained the Military Medal of Valour and a Purple Heart. How tough was he? after he got shot, he refused morphine, he didn't want to be taken out on a stretcher.

REMEMBRANCE DAY: In East York, new generation honours those who paved way​


Droves of people filled the park around the cenotaph off Coxwell and Mortimer Aves.
At the cenotaph, Andrea Williams carefully kept watch on the monument and especially one of its four guards standing vigil and participating in sentry duty. Her 14-year-old son Kenneth is part of the 330 Canadian Air Cadets squadron.

Williams explained that, even at a young age, her son understands a sense of duty and “is very passionate” about the Air Cadets and the Canadian military.

“Honouring soldiers and veterans on Remembrance Day,” Williams said. “And we were really honoured to support him when he said he wanted to do this sentry duty today.”

Williams said that the Air Cadets have given her son a greater understanding of maturity.

“So Kenneth is another generation and this is his found passion,” Williams said. “We are thrilled to see it continuing in our family for another generation.”

When asked if relatives had served Canada, she said her grandparent served, but not on active duty. The family lost a great-uncle during the Second World War and uncles and cousins had long, “incredible careers” with the Canadian Air Force.
