In August of 1944 when troops entered with force to liberate Paris, Captain Colin McDougall was there . . .
When the landing craft hit the beaches of Normandy, Captain Colin McDougall was there . . .
I am known as Colin “Google” McDougall but I am also Colin McDougall III, Captain Colin McDougall was my grandfather. He was a cinematography in World War II
Because of thousands of brave and selfless people just like my Grandfather we are free today
It’s Veterans Day in the United States and other countries, here in Canada it’s Remembrance Day.
Regardless of the name we give this day, The 11th Hour of the 11th Day of the 11th month is a day to pay our respects to those brave and selfless soldiers that paid the ultimate sacrifice for our freedom.
Those that know me personally know that I enjoy “Summers of Freedom” but I NEVER forget why I have that freedom today!
Today I will be especially remembering my Grandfather who was on the beaches of Normandy on D-Day filming the landing.
A lot of the World War II footage you see in documentaries was filmed by the Canadian Army Film and Photo Unit which was led by Captain Colin McDougall.
While my grandfather didn’t speak much about the war, I do remember all the old camera equipment around his house. He passed away when I was 13 years old but I am incredibly proud to be his grandson and proud of his achievements.
We Were Kings for a Day
Here is a CBC Radio clip from 1944 where they entered Paris with Force!

If you have any family stories about your parents or grandparents fighting for the freedom we have today I would love to hear them.
Whether or not you have the freedom that I enjoy with my internet business, you are still free to go to work, to live your life in relative comfort.
Sometimes we may forget that we actually do live in a beautiful world and we do so because of those fallen soldiers that fought for us . . .
In honor of those that fought for the freedom I live EVERY DAY of my life, I have decided to package up some of my best material to give to you.
Watch for a notification from me in the next few days with instructions to get your absolute freedom too
We ALL deserve to be free because of the sacrifices that were made for us and are still being made by brave men and women overseas right now!
Do You Have a Friend or Family Member You Want to Acknowledge?
Yes, I am VERY proud of what my Grandfather did back in the 1940’s to capture on film what was happening in Europe!
Let’s ALL show our appreciation for those fallen soldiers, for those that fought and survived AND for those fighting for us today
I want to hear about a hero in your life that fought or is fighting for our freedom . . .
