I think the family are a bunch of Sour Pusses...

There used to be a fine story to these medals... Chinese Immigrant makes good and donates half a million to keep Canadian Medals in Canada....

Now there is a simple Dallas/Dynasty story, embittered family wants credit for donating medals that someone else payed for.

I think Colonel McCrae would be ashamed by the behaviour of his descendents.

I am glad that they are out there for the public to see. Also a big BZ to Mr Lee.
