Shaun Francis: Canada has a proud military once again
Recently, Gen. Natynczyk took me aside to tell me what a favour RMC was doing by presenting me with an honorary degree. “Finally, Shaun,” he said in his powerful voice. “You’re going to graduate from a proper service academy.” As I watched the parades and ceremonies, I couldn’t help but feel proud to join the community that exists around Gen. Natynczyk’s proper academy.
